Trying Your Hand and Big Top Action
02.09.02

A spectacular, international circus will make its debut at the Royal County of Berkshire Show on Saturday and Sunday 21st and 22nd September. The Festival Circus will perform in their own 500-seater, colourful Big Top at Newbury Showground.

Top jugglers, daring trapeze artists, hilarious comedy acrobats, balancing acts and the lovable clown George will entertain throughout the weekend in a series of circus shows. Both in and above the circus ring there will be talented performances with thrills, spills and laughter guaranteed to entertain young and old alike!

During both days, there will also be circus workshops for children and young people to try their hand at circus skills, with help and supervision on hand from the professionals.

There’s something for everyone at the Festival Circus, so roll-up, roll-up and share in the excitement and the magic of the circus!

Another newcomer to the top agricultural event is the final heat of the British Farmers Arm Wrestling Championship. Over 400 British, European and World Professional Champions entered the first ever competition and finalists for the 19th October event are being selected through heats at six of the country’s top agricultural shows.

Visitors to the Royal County of Berkshire Show who are keen to try their hand can enter ‘Granite Arm’ and compete for a Rally 2000 Club Quad Bike. Sponsored by Farmers Guardian the novice contest, open to men and women over 18 years (under 18’s require parental consent), will be conducted under the watchful eye of professional British Arm Wrestling Federation (BAWF) instructors and referees. BAWF talent scouts will also be present and regional winners will compete for the quad bike in the 19th October final
