We attended #KeeleUniversity Breaking the Mould Awards Ceremony where Philip Astley Project was shortlisted for the Cultivating Talent Award. Well done to winners Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust #philipastleyproject #wearestaffordshire #KeeleBTMAwards #andrewvanburen

@PaulWilliams207 @BCBfestival @burslemart @barewall @ArtsKeele @KeeleBusiness Great to see you.

Good to see Matt Whiting’s British Ceramics Biennial and Three Counties Art Exhibition #TheBlobs fame has resulted in him creating these ceramic works of art for each of the #KeeleBTMAwards winners. @BCBfestival @burslemart @barewall @ArtsKeele @KeeleBusiness

@inspiredfilm @KeeleUniversity @PhilipAstleypro @ExpertCitizens @HensonEditorial We waved to you but you were very busy and as always doing a wonderful job.

The lovely @VanBurenOrg @PhilipAstleypro popped into Belong Newcastle-under-Lyme, yesterday, to share a fascinating talk with customers and visitors, entitled 'Philip Astley and Me' as part of celebrations for #NewcastleunderLyme's 850th Anniversary. 🎪🤹

Feeling proud of this exhibition.

Congratulations to one of our Philip Astley Project Directors Mr Jim Worgan on his Lifetime Achievement Award well deserved! newcastle-staffs.gov.uk/news/article/1… #jimworgan #award #lifetimeachivement #philipastley #philipastleyproject #Astley #circus @PhilipAstleypro

@Bowsie1984 Wow thats fantastic, be great to see them.

@VanBurenOrg Sad news indeed. I was a contestant on the generation game pilot. Will try and dig up the photos from that memorable day. An absolute legend

Sad news indeed, RIP Paul O Grady, we first met at North Pier Blackpool after he followed the Danny La Rue show in, next working together filming the Generation Game & then again when we worked the cast of Coronation Street Shows, among others. A supporter of Variety #PaulOGrady

I am humbled to have received this Silver award it means a lot thank you @WeareStaffs @EnjoyStaffs @heathersgal (Not sure how to properly react to an award, the last time I was awarded anything was a book voucher at school!) #andrewvanburen #philipastleyproject #NuL #potteries

Astley is celebrated every June with The Homecoming, an extravaganza in Newcastle-under-Lyme town centre featuring outdoor performances by artists from around the world. /ENDS Images: Clara Lou Photography @PhilipAstleypro @NewsNBC @VanBurenOrg @appetitestoke @NewcastleBID

@philcrowphoto @PhilipAstleypro @NewcastleBID @NuLMarkets Yes Norman Barrett OBE

@PhilipAstleypro @VanBurenOrg @NewcastleBID @NuLMarkets I remember that ringmaster!- wasn't he on TV with Charlie Cairoli- I used to love that prog as a kid 🤡

Looking back at visitors to Philip Astley's birthplace Newcastle under Lyme, the worlds most famous Ringmaster Norman Barrett OBE was delighted to pay tribute to the original Ringmaster Philip Astley #PhilipAstley #normanbarrett #andrewvanburen #ringmaster #newcastleunderlyme

@HannahHiles @gandeyscircus @TrenthamEstate Fabulous show at Sandbach last year, looking forward to seeing @gandeyscircus again soon. Went to an amazing presentation at #BiddulphHistorySociety by @VanBurenOrg about #PhilipAstley @PhilipAstleypro and the birth of modern circus.

Fancy clowning around with the family this half-term? 🤡 The brilliant @VanBurenOrg is running Halloween-themed circus skills workshops @BramptonMuseum on Tuesday, 25 October 🎃👻 Here's a taster of the fun you can expect 👇 More information: bit.ly/3rT75pu
