'We turned city's empty spaces into playgrounds'

A circus troupe has shared two decades of memories of transforming derelict spaces into magical stages.

The Invisible Circus, which has become a well-known cultural institution in Bristol, has staged stunning shows at some of the city's most historic landmarks.

Co-founder Doug Francisco said though there has "always been a lot of circus in Bristol", the group has made the community's work more "visible".
