Welcome to our August newsletter to keep you all abreast of our new and exciting acts and some of our most requested performers. We hope you are enjoying the summer (or lack of it) - apparently it’s going to be gorgeous and hot in September – here’s to hoping anyway!!!
For the Kids (New)

Donkey Days – Donkey Experience
All the fun of the summer, perfect for family fun days. Donkey Days are a small family-run business and the donkeys in question are much loved family pets. They enjoy meeting the public and can provide many rides for children. The donkeys can be beautifully decorated in costumes with saddle, bridle, bell collar and even a donkey cart if required.
Circus Entertainment

Tumbles - Tumbles are an extremely versatile group of performers who are passionate about providing highly skilled, live circus entertainment in new and innovative ways. They aim to produce fantastic spectacles so that your event will be one to remember.
Covent Garden Show (NEW)

Mr. Wippy Show – Musical Theatre - Mr. Wippy is a mobile piece of musical theatre based in an antique ice cream van. The styling is reminiscent of 1940’s American ‘Cheesecake’ art and the saucy seaside postcard art of pre-war Britain, tailored to suit family audiences. The theme of the show is ice cream and it is 15mins long. The characters; Mr. Wippy- the compere and crooner, Knickerbocker Glory (AKA Strawberry Sauce) the leading lady and The Conettes-the two backing singers, all sing and dance familiar Hollywood musical numbers with rewritten lyrics. Between shows the cast offer short dance workshops to members of the audience, all ages will be welcome.
Dancers (NEW)

Anna-Louise & Richard – Ballroom & Latin Dancers - Anna Louise & Richard are an elegant and exciting Ballroom & Latin American Duo. Audiences will be blown away by their take of the flowing Waltz, dynamic Jive or any of the other 10 dances in their repertoire. Their performance is a fantastic match on 'Strictly Come Dancing', with their own style added in for that extra 'wow' factor. Quick costume changes will amaze and are all extremely glamorous, glitzy, and full or colour and style! Their combined credits include anything and everything from BBC Television, to corporate events, to film.
"It's a real honour to be named 7th in the UK in Ballroom" - Richard
Whether dancing for corporate or private events, TV, weddings, or parties, Richard & Anna Louise will bring the grace of Ballroom and Energy of Latin American to any occasion...
Food Entertainment

Oyster Boys - Oyster Lads Colin and Robin have been in business since 2005. From their farm on the shores of Loch Creran they bring the fresh and fine experience of the Scottish oyster to events throughout the UK and Europe. After many summers bending their backs on the family oyster farm, the boys look to harness their knowledge and share the wonders of the oyster with the masses. By cutting out the middle man, the Oyster Lads bring the freshest produce straight from sea to mouth, bringing the customer closer to the farmer.
Games, Rides and Attractions

The exciting 2 man simulator – X2 with bespoke branding packages and bespoke rides upon request. The X2 motion simulator is the most advanced available in the world today. With two seats in front of a 32” HD LCD monitor and a closed capsule it provides riders with a fully immersive simulator experience that they will NEVER forget.
Mix and Mingle (NEW)

Storm troopers are great for retail environments and shopping centres and of course futuristic events! In 1976, SDS created the original helmets and armour for the greatest sci-fi fantasy film of all time. Now, over 30 years on and for the FIRST time ever, YOU can either hire or own an exclusive 1:1 collectable replica of the original movie helmets and costumes. Our armour is an accurate replica of the armour produced in 1976, only using today's more advanced production techniques and thermo-plastics. Made of acrylic capped ABS this rugged armour has been made not only to look great on a mannequin (not supplied) but also strong enough to withstand the rigors of costuming. Made by the original prop-maker from the original moulds!
Hire
Book a piece of Star Wars history to appear at your event with our fantastic Stormtrooper walkabout characters. You may also hire a costume if you require a party outfit, or you wish to provide your own actors (boots not included).
