Broadway

Broadway was another ground the circus played last year for the first time, so this year it is a new ground for us.

The High street is a stereo typical quaint English town. It is the type of place that many foreign tourists imagine most of England to be like, or at least want to believe that is what it is like. People have day trips to visit here, so it is fairly busy considering its size. A large portion of the shops cater to the tourist trade too with gift type shops, and places to have an afternoon tea. Unfortunately this isn't so great for us.

There was a supermarket but it was Budgens, so even that is quite expensive and small but certainly better than nothing and they sold Cartmel Sticky Toffee pudding so not all bad. Luckily I only realised this on the last day, otherwise I may have consumed too much.

The other place for food was a nice (but again expensive) Deli. I was drawn in via their window display, which includes some cider called Wobblejuice. They also sold scotch eggs made with black pudding, which actually tasted pretty good.

There was an amazing play park right next door to the circus ground, we just had to climb over the fence and we were in. Unlike most play parks, it also catered for adults with keep fit type equipment, zip lines and climbing walls. So it wasn't just the children who made the most of this.
