Rob Bowker from Clowns International, aka Bibbledy Bob, said: “We’re absolutely ecstatic to be bringing the event back to Bognor after its been away for so long.
“Around 30 of us will be coming down and families can expect some of the finest clowns in the world bringing lots of silliness and fun.
“Last week was the first time I’d come to Bognor to have some photos and I couldn’t quite believe the reaction we got.

“There’s so much love in Bognor for the clowns and the clowns love Bognor just as much.”
On Saturday from 11am there are free circus skills for children at The Jeneses Community Arts Centre, as well as a family show followed by the international clown gala (tickets from the centre).
Then on Sunday from 2pm, Hotham Park plays host to the clown parade, followed by a family picnic in the park.
