  • A second, family arena will host a variety of entertainment specifically for younger visitors, including the Strombolis sword-swallowing and fire-eating extravaganza and two former British trampoline champions - Wax ‘n Wain, performing a comedy trampoline and high bar act.
  • Brass bands and jazz bands, plus a piper will add atmosphere to the large number of trade stands that make the event a shopping ‘must’. There is also a childrens’ fair, which like the trade stands, is open on all three days.
