Chaplin’s Circus came to Kent for the first time last week, to delight Dartford families.
Hawley Garden Centre hosted the event from Wednesday to Sunday (April 26) which featured human cannonball 'Herman the Great'.
Circus owner and former millionaire lawyer Gary Stocker was fired across the stage into a barrel of water for the headline act.

He runs the circus with Mark Foot, a set creator who has worked on movie blockbusters and Las Vegas shows.
Kim Foster from the garden centre said: "We are very excited about the circus coming to our garden centre. There will be plenty to see and do."

In each area it visits, Chaplin’s Circus works with local charities to develop and implement local fundraising initiatives.
Show tickets cost £21 for ringside seats or £14.00 for grandstand, with £16 or £9 tickets for children.
