The Imps Motorcyle Display Team
The Imps Motorcycle Display Team, noted for its impeccable smart red tunics and highly discipling spectacular show orginated in the 1907's from the Hackney Adventure Holiday Project. For near forty years The Imps have performed around the world to millions of people. Regular appearances on prime time television and displays at major events, such as the Edinburgh Military Tattoo, have securted a reputation for excellence.
Extraordinary discipline and incredible teamwork enable the Imps to deliver shows comprising complex 'cross-overs' requiring split second timing, breath taking fire jumps and visually stunning pyramids of red tunics - all served up with a dash of humour and aided by the spell-binding mini Imp mascots.
From the sound of revving engines to the awe of a billowing fire jump and the suspense of a multiple motorcycle combination routine. The Imps will have you mesmerised by an unmissable display of discipline and skill. Furthermore, you will be stunned to learn that the youngest performer is only 5 years old!
Falconry Display
A professional display of falconry to educate and thrill the audience.
A static Displays of Hawks, Owls, Falcons and Eagles with a flying demonstration in the main arena, during the flying demonstration both children and adults can enter the arena to experience the silent flight of the owls and antics of the Harris Hawks.

"Taste of the County" will see 60 local food and drink producers coming together, alongside cookery demonstrations from some of the region’s best known chefs, for what promises to be a gastronomic extravaganza in support of The Journal’s Buy, Use, Eat Local Campaign .|
