Here are the wonders collected over many years by Arthur Fenwick and his extreme circus collection spanning 1830 – 1960. The family have chosen the best bits and created his gallery for you to explore. We have added some gems of our own which we have collected and will be donating them to the museums as the La Bonche Collection. From these collections we are designing an exhibition and will also bring to life the wonders of our cultural history, through a circus show as part of JUICE Festival, Newcastle October 2013.
