Man in a Box by Maynard Flip Flap

Sunday, 1:00pm, 2:30pm - 4:00pm

Curiosity is aroused by the arrival of two characters with a box. Despite his size, one manages to climb in and shut the lid. Suddenly the box leaps into life, grows legs and totters off. Carefully guided by his companion, the box then meets and greets and plays footsie with the amazed onlookers.

Farmer Giles by Artizani

Saturday, Midday, 1.30pm & 3pm

Sunday, 11.30am, 1:00pm & 2.30pm

Look out for Farmer Giles who you’ll find leaning over his five bar gate giving advice on any subject from farming (about which he knows little) to philosophy (about which he knows less). This gently surreal street performance is quick witted and hilarious.
