Pictures: Kids jump for joy as free clown show comes to Bognor Regis

Organised as part of the town council’s free ‘Funshine’ events to help keep little ones entertained over the break, the event took place over a number of sessions from 11am to 3pm.

Zak the Clown’s gag-filled show saw him making balloon animals, performing tricks, telling jokes and giving little ones the chance to step onstage and take part in the show directly.

Alongside the clown show, Wednesday’s event also featured storytelling on the Bognor Regis bandstand with Mike O’Leary Hagstone, a professional story teller with 25 years experience and a penchant for spellbinding ghost tales and folk stories.

Previous ‘Funshine’ events included a circus skills workshop, world ocean day celebrations featuring a sand castle competition, dance classes by the sea, samurai sword lessons and more.
