THE EDWIN STARR BAND

The Team have been around since 1982; their reputation for consistently outstanding live performance is the foundation of their success; their intimate relationship with soul music has had legendary artists perform with them; and their audience is drawn from so wide a spectrum of people as to make the demographic indefinable.

SHARON SULLIVAN NORTHERN SOUL DANCE WORKSHOP

For over 35 years members of the 3-4-40 Region BBAC have been flying in the Newbury area.

The 3-4-40 Region is a local ballooning club, one of a number of UK organisations affiliated to the British Balloon and Airship Club (www.bbac.org).

The Region is named after the three motorways which pass through it and includes North Hampshire, Berkshire, Wiltshire (east of Salisbury Plain) and Oxfordshire.

The Fox family have been touring and entertaining since the 1920’s.

With their vintage Indian Scouts and 20ft high vertical wall it is a show that needs to be seen to be believed! 

All those who see the show will remember it for the rest of their life.

The noise, the speed, the smell, the proximity of the bikes ridden to the top of the wall, barely 6 inches from the audience – an experience never to be forgotten!

Their vintage collection boasts some of the best retro vintage rides around.

This years Fun Fair has over 30 fantastically exciting rides for you to enjoy… YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO!!

On the street or in the home, on showground, park or village green, Professor David Wilde entertains children and adults alike with traditional skills of Magic and the authentic Punch & Judy Show.
