Fayre Guisers Mummers | |
Mummers’ plays can be traced back to at least the 13th century. The Fayre Guisers perform a play based on the Fittleworth Tipteering Play and you can be guaranteed a few belly laughs and much silliness as the hero and villain battle it out for grand King George. Crowd interaction is encouraged. Boooo! Hisss! Huzzah! | |
Experience a traditional Punch and Judy show with live music, the old storylines, characters, gags and the ability of Mr Punch to still captivate and outrage after all these years! | |
Roving | Around The Festival |

Dan Burt With Dobbin The Wonder Horse | Dan and Dobbin look forward to meeting children from 3 to 93 at The English Ale. Pretty, intelligent and charming though a little smelly. And Dobbin's good fun as well! |
Hot For Joe Border Morris | Adelaide’s Hot For Joe is a women’s border Morris side performing a highly styled, truly unique form of Morris dancing in a a mysterious, wild and dramatic performance. See them in the procession as well as on the Village Green throughout the day. |
