Live bands / Events
 
One of our main aims has been to showcase local talent and provide more of a festival vibe. We have worked very hard to bring you a great selection of twenty-seven bands catering for all tastes and ages. Check them out by following the links on the right. The marquee will be banging out tunes from 5pm on Friday until midnight, 12am Saturday until midnight, and 12am Sunday until 11pm.  Druid's Brew will be providing their usual fayre of mellow Vdub tunes from their Splitty during the day.


   A varied array of food and drink will be available from the food area. Check out some burgers made from 'proper' Devon beef!
  There will be a bonfire on Sunday night, so you can chill out to the music, watch the stars and keep warm & cosy!

Events
F.L.A.M.E - The south coast's top fire performance group will be on site with their latest fire and light manipulation skills in a breath taking evening show. During the day the F.L.A.M.E team will be on hand to teach all ages and skills in circus workshops as well as providing some very unusual daytime and night time walkabouts.....where do they get their inspiration from??! www.flamefireshows.com

Syncronauts - For the first time at this year's event we have a demonstration on Saturday of Volkswagen's initial foray into the 4x4 market, the T25 Syncro. In the early 1980s VW produced a variety of body shapes based on the Type 25 Transporter floorpan. Their abilities as a 4 wheel drive have gone largely un-recognised until the formation of CLUB 80-90 Syncronauts was organised by a bunch of enthusiasts in 2005, some of whom will be here to show of their capabilities. www.club80-90syncro.co.uk

To add to this, the UK BAJA BEETLE Club will be showing off the Beetle's capability atPaul's Baja cross country travel and have their own form of off-roading. They will be demonstrating on an off road route with steep descents, inclines and hopefully a liberal smattering of MUD !! For the lucky few, there may also be a chance to be driven around the course. Please note this will be at the owner's discretion. www.bajaclub.co.uk

Children's Entertainment / Disco
Being a family show there will be plenty for the kids to see and do including a treasure hunt and drawing competition. Bouncy castle and slide with all day pass available. Traditional coconut shy and kids big wheel. Join in the circus workshop on Friday. In the evenings we will be starting the night off for the kids with a disco in the small marquee followed by more disco for the older kids (mums and dads also). We're sorry, but no crèche facilities on site.
