The Circus and the Fair are coming to town. In this epsiode we take a dazzling look behind the scenes with the NFCA's Collection Manager, Aruntzia Barrutia, and learn about social value of the fairground to further education in 19th century Britian, its role in promoting female boxing, and the technological innovations it helped develop and showcase. Artunzia also shares stories from their living archive - a space where close links are forged with companies, show families and performers.
