Hopefully putting together a fantastic set of Dixieland tunes especially for the event.  This promises to be REALLY special! 

 

The Lawmen
The Lawmen promise to be some of the meanest, low-down cowboys ever seen this side of the county line.  Never mind Arizona, these guys are from the REAL wild west - Bristol!  They will be putting on a superb show for you all day, with loads of shooting, action and entertainment from some real professionals.  Not to be missed.

 

Red 'n' RandyRed 'n' Randy
Linedancers for a new millennium. Loud and lippy, come on down and join in the "Three Thumbs Boogie" or "The Red Neck Shuffle".  They've got more tassles than you can shake a stick at!

 

The Cameo Dancers
You will be able to see the superb Cameo Dancers as they shake it all about performing the deliciously exciting Can-Can.  Another first for the Cricklade High Street (apart from the occasional display outside the White Lion on a Friday night...!).

 

 

Alex Laredo
Watch one of the real experts put on a show that will amaze you!  Alex Laredo will be demonstrating lasso tricks, whip cracking and gun slinging.  This guy is SO good he is the WORLD record holder for rope tricks! 

 

 


Tony M
Cricklade’s very own Tony M will be performing on the stage for most of the afternoon.  If you have never seen Tony before, then you are in for a real treat.  He is a great singer, a great guitarist and a great entertainer too.  Make sure you come and see him - you won't be disappointed.

 

Bucking Bronco

We haven't finalised the entertainments yet, but we have booked a Bucking Bronco machine.  This WILL be fun to watch!

Classic Motorcycles

It's Father's Day, so here is something for the Dads (apart from the Can Can dancing of course!) The fifth Cricklade Classic Rally is being held in the Car Park of the White Hart hotel. Come and see some lovely old machines. Find out more here...

The St Joan's Ambulance

We are pleased to say that all health matters will be left in the capable hands of the St Joan's Ambulance.  Accident prone and ready to serve. Joan and John, having failed the most basic of first aid courses, have set forth with crates of crepe bandage and piles of plasters. Using all available street furniture this cumbersome duo trip, fall and blaze a trail of self destruction, turning the smallest obstacle into a mountain of trouble. Whether stuck under the wheel of a car or jammed tight amongst railings they still attempt to save people from the hazards of everyday life. Using slapstick and they own unique comedy style they will have you in stitches.

How can we join in?

Of course everyone is welcome to come and enjoy the day.  There will be something there for all the family.  If you would like to take part, then why not enter a stall?  It could be a chance to have some fun and join in the spirit of the day and maybe make some money for your cause too.  If you fancy having a stall then please get in touch (either by or by calling 01793 752685).

How can we help?

In order to make the day a success, we are going to need loads of helpers.  If you would like to join us and lend us a hand, then get in touch (either by or by calling 01793 752685)

Why are we doing this?

The whole aim of this festival is to provide a fun day out for the Cricklade community.  We are totally dependant on the support of local businesses and other bodies - without their help, this event would not be possible.
