There is provided cyclonic separating apparatus comprising a cyclonic separator for separating dirt and dust from an airflow, an inlet to the cyclonic separator and a shroud (122) comprising a wall (124) having a multiplicity of through-holes (126) forming an outlet from the cyclonic separator. A plurality of separate passageways (134) are provided immediately downstream of the through-holes (126). By providing such an arrangement, the separate passageways (134) can be located around other parts of the cyclonic separating apparatus inwardly of the shroud (122), allowing for better packaging of the components of the cyclonic separating apparatus. This allows the shroud (122) to be reduced in size because some of the space previously required for a single, large passageway can be used for other components of the cyclonic separating apparatus; for example, a collector or a cyclone. The reduction in size of the shroud (122) in turn allows for the cyclonic separating apparatus to be more compact.
