 Exotic Reptiles, Spiders and much more! Come and listen to the stories, handle the various creatures or just watch with amazement as others allow the reptiles and spiders to crawl on them

THE HAIRY CHAIRS: As a Child did you imagine daring adventures in far flung lands with magical companions and magnificent steeds? Freya and Gumpf will be exploring Welshpool and its inhabitants in this spirit of adventure, aboard their incredible walking armchairs- part beast part household furniture.

MUSICAL RUTH: Zany piano-playing musical nun. A mix and mingle comedy act, an extravagantly decorated baby grand piano built onto an electrically powered vehicle. This is driven around by Sister Ruth, a madcap nun who can stop and entertain any group of people using comedy patter, hilarious dance moves, facial contortions, sound effects and unusual renditions of all your favourite songs.

Past clients include Nokia, Guinness, Warwick Castle, Brighton Festival and many others.

Visually stunning, funny enough to bring tears and once witnessed never forgotten!

MAGIC KEV

Magic Show & Balloon Modelling.

West Midlands based Children's Entertainer and Magician, Magic Kev really knows how to put on a sensational magic making items disappear and reappear in unopened and factory sealed tins of baked beans and socks, make lights appear from behind children's ears and make the water from cups vanish (much to the delight of the brave Mum or Dad standing beneath the aforementioned cup). Magic Kev's  shows are a real treat. Well rehearsed and tested for years in front of LIVE children. Adults are also invited to join in and watch the show. Magic Kev regularly performs in the kidzfield at the Glastonbury Festival and at various festivals and venues up and down the country.
