For stunts of another sort, look out for the Flair Riders . Over from New Zealand there will also be The Lumberjack Show, which will feature wood chopping, pole-climbing, axe throwing and more. Saturday night will see Steven Spellmaster, a popular comedy hypnotist, performing, and if that doesn't satisfy your taste for mesmerising tricks, check out Circus Avalon , or go see Joel Howlett at JD's World of Magic on Sunday. Dial DJ Demon, a mobile party group, will also be at the show on Saturday and Sunday.



Little Scallywagz are a great attraction for the young kids and will be performing on Saturday and Sunday.
