Families enjoyed a day of circus skills and magic shows to celebrate Bristol's multi-cultural community.

The colourful fun day, held at Whitehall Road in Easton, was organised by the children's charity Barnardo's South West.

Young and old watched hip-hop dance workshops and had their faces painted, and there were also arts and crafts stands, balloon modelling and games. And after working up a appetite at the fair, visitors tucked into a variety of Asian, Caribbean and English foods.

Jendayi Serwah, Barnardo's children's services manager, said: "It's a celebration of the city's diversity.

"The idea was to raise awareness of the wide variety of services we offer to families, as well as being an opportunity to thank everyone who has contributed to our success."

The Barnardo's project helps hundreds of people every year through home visits, family support services, a "supplementary school" and a play project for isolated families.

Last year Barnardo's South West supported more than 14,500 children and young people challenged by poverty, abuse, disability and discrimination.
