Farmyard Circus – A warm and cheery, family-friendly, farm-life inspired circus spectacle. The Farm Yard Circus comprises group acrobatics, juggling, theatre, and live music. Expect a bewildering display of group acrobatics and juggling using hay bales, wheelbarrows, a tractor tyre, and even an old scarecrow!
The Maniax by MarkMark Productions – A spectacle of stunning street performance! Twice winners of the prestigious ‘Street Show of The Year’ award, this is a hilarious, spectacular comedy performance that always pulls huge crowds. Based on an amazing Houdini style escape, the show is packed with stunts, illusions and great comic routines.
The Seagulls – These cheeky sea birds have had audiences in a flap all over the world. Giant cheeky gulls with working beaks, they’ll rummage in bags and pockets, steal food from plates and picnic baskets, squabble amongst themselves and generally cause mayhem.
Joe Fleming’s Fireman – Always on call and equipped with a 10ft ladder & Firemen’s pole, the Firemen truly have all the gear but no idea! A hilarious walkabout packed with live acrobatics, comedy and slapstick humour!
