Motocross Freestyle Team
The Freestyle Team provide a unique, non-stop show, using Britain’s best motocross and extreme sports participants, introducing the articulated mobile freestyle ramp.
Freestyle Motocross displays have traditionally consisted of a small pool of riders appearing at a few specific demos and events around the world using traditional earth landing ramps, which take days to build. However this team became the first professional team with high tech mobile ramp equipment, which enables a freestyle motocross arena to be set up in just a few minutes. This has made it possible for the general public to view the most spectacular sport in the UK.
The show features a wide selection of freestyle motocross tricks such as the ‘superman seat grab’, ‘Indian air’, ‘heel-clicker’, ‘rock solid’, ‘double-nac’, ‘switch blade’, ‘kiss of death’, ‘lazy boy’ and many more. Many of these moves will result in the rider exiting their seat, taking their hands off the handlebars and rotating their body around the bike!
Team Director and professional stunt performer, Andy Godbold describes the show as, “It’s more than just freestyle. It’s a non-stop show that will entertain everyone from off–road enthusiasts to the general public. It’s a must see part of any festival and is continually growing in popularity as the awareness of freestyle motocross increases.”

The Kangaroo Kid
World record holder Matt Coulter (The Kangaroo Kid) has been riding motorbikes since the age of 3. In 1987 he competed in and won the Australian Quad bike championships. He went on to become the Italian and UK champions before starting his career in the UK as a stunt entertainer.
The Kangaroo Kid's showmanship captures the crowd and keeps them captivated for the duration of his performance. Using a microphone in his helmet that is linked to the shows main P A system, the Kangaroo Kid keeps the crowd informed with a witty commentary, while displaying incredible skill and agility manoeuvring his selection of quad bikes and motorcycles around the arena.
His act includes stunts on his Harley Davidson Buell and a fun stunt using his quad-bike specially fitted with a roll cage. The Kangaroo Kid gets the crowd involved by taking four willing participants for a wheelie, before finishing his act with a jump over anything that is put in his path, be it cars, trucks or tractors, he has even jumped a flying aeroplane.
Australian born Matt is a great entertainer and a very skilled motorcyclist. Fans saw him last year break his own world record by jumping 14 four-wheel drive vehicles. He also set a New World record by jumping 4 moving vehicles. His many T.V. appearances include 'You Bet', 'Great Escapes', 'The Big Breakfast', 'Don't Try This At Home' and 'Guinness World Records'.

The Royal Signals White Helmets
Recognised by many commentators as being the world's premier in the field, in its 75th year The Royal Signals Motorcycle Display Team, The White Helmets, continue to provide the main arena attraction at events throughout the country with its exciting, non-stop combination of fast cross-over rides and courageous feats of balance and skill.
The bark of the thirty 750cc motorcycles and the sight of the sparkling machines with their traditionally uniformed riders combine to draw crowds for the 35 minute displays - given on their self-manufactured Triumph Millenium machines.
Audience thrill at the bravery and precision of the rides with their closing speeds of up to 70 mph and marvel at the individual tricks: whether controlling machines from the top of 8ft ladders, dramatic fire and obstacle jumps, its famous '6-bike fan' or the fact that many of these feats are performed whilst riding in the reverse! The use of only man-portable props assures the continuity of arena activity during the displays and performances can be adjusted to meet most event organisers’ needs.

The Kangaroos Display Team
The Kangaroos Display Team prides itself on its ability to produce a display to fit any requirements, in both gymnastics and trampolining. Normally the team performs two types of displays:
THE MAIN DISPLAY
This Display consists of a series of 7 increasingly difficult and more spectacular moves with over 200 somersaults including many doubles, and if conditions are right, some triple somersaults (not performed by any other team in the U.K.). The highlights of the Display are multiple somersaults over a car, motorcycles or sometimes the bucket of a J C B, and the final
‘Big Move’ which is the longest, highest and most spectacular Vaulting move performed possibly anywhere in the world.
THE COMEDY DISPLAY
This Display is based on a classic Victorian theme. It includes Victorian clad Gymnasts, a ‘Gentleman’, two Cricketers, a Robber and a Policeman, who are all involved eventually in a classic chase. This display has many exciting, spectacular and very dangerous vaults and somersaults and its climax is the Gymnasts performing double somersaults over the others sitting on top of a vaulting box!

The Sheep Show
The Sheep Show is a fun and educational look at different breeds of sheep with the emphasis on wool. The show is now more popular than ever - appearing at over 40 venues during the year 2000 in front of an estimated audience of 1.6 million people! If you run an Agricultural Show, County or Town Show, festival or other outdoor event, this show must not be missed as part of your entertainment.
The shows are presented by New Zealanders Richard Savory and Stuart Barnes and are fun for all ages. As each of the nine breeds of sheep are introduced to the audience, they learn about its attributes and how wool from the sheep's back becomes a jumper to wear. Meet Nobby the Norfolk Horn, Susie the Southdown and their woolly friends. Don’t miss the famous ‘Sheep Show Shuffle’ and the fascinating live shearing demonstration.
Each show lasts around 30 minutes and several shows are performed during the day from the Sheep Show's own self-contained 40ft stage trailer, complete with sound and lighting - all that is required is an enthusiastic audience!

Festival Circus
The Festival Circus brings the magic of the circus alive, with a brand-new show each year! There's up to five hours of circus entertainment per day inside a real circus big top, presented by Britain's most successful Gala and Corporate Circus company. In June 2003, the Festival Circus became the first circus ever to perform at Buckingham Palace, at the invitation of Her Majesty the Queen.
The fast-moving and spectacular show features a host of circus skills, like daring trapeze, amazing juggling, dazzling acrobatics and of course, the circus clowns! It's an all-human show in the traditional circus style, guaranteed to delight young and old alike, with laughter, thrills and spills!
When you book the Festival Circus you get a colourful 90ft diameter circus tent, with seating for 500 people, plus circus ring, backdrop, lighting and sound systems. In addition to the fantastic performers the circus provides technical, front of house and backstage crew.
Up to five hours of entertainment each day is available with either 4 x 45 minute or 2 x 90 minute performances, and 2 hours of ‘have a go' circus skills workshops for children and/or adults.
An additional bonus when booking the Festival Circus is the free use of the Big Top outside of show times – events like concerts, discos, cabaret or any gala presentation can take place in the 500 seater Big Top entirely free of charge - compare this to the typical cost of marquee hire alone and you will see that booking the Festival Circus makes sense! And don't forget that the comfortable Big Top can guarantee a successful event in unpredictable British weather.
