A CLOWN had a host of tricks up his sleeve as he delighted audiences at a Worcester shopping centre during an extravaganza of activities.

Nicholi the clown entertained audiences at Bell Square in the CrownGate centre yesterday. He performed magic tricks, made balloon models and showed his skills with puppets. He was joined by the Easter chick.

The performance brought to a close the shopping centre's Easter entertainment, which has included clowns, jesters and face-painters who produced a range of animal masks.
