Crowds were treated to a dazzling display of gravity-defying stunts on the opening night of Norfolk and Norwich Festival.
Lofted high above the ground, performers from the Gorilla Circus impressed onlookers on Saturday night with their aerial acrobatics in Chapelfield Gardens.
Gasps could be heard as people watched the skilled artists complete tightrope walks and intricate group displays.
A series of free performances took place throughout the city over the weekend, with something to discover on almost every street corner.
It is part of a three-week-long celebration of arts and culture, with live music, street performance and dance events happening at venues across Norwich.
