Go to the East Anglian Game & Country Fair for FREE!
This year’s East Anglian Game & Country Fair hosted, ‘in association with the EDP Norfolk Magazine’, promises to have something for the whole family, with a variety of new attractions on offer. The event will be held again, at the Norfolk Showground, on Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th April 2009.
The show (which attracts over 50,000 visitors) is delighted that the MBS Mountainboarding Team will be joining them for the first time! We eagerly await the pro team displays and our visitors are looking forward to joining in the fun by having a go themselves! This Mountainboard Freestyle display combines the excitement of skateboarding, snowboarding and biking into one new action packed extreme sport.
The MBS Mountainboard Big Air Show is the newest extreme show on the scene, demonstrating on Europe’s only mobile freestyle demo ramp. By employing more of the world’s best riders and compare they offer one of the best family entertainment, shows on earth with riders performing spectacular jumps, spins, flips and rails slides in rapid succession.
We are pleased to announce they have a brand new equine attraction joining them, the ‘Horse Whisperer’, Gary Witheford. It is Gary’s firm belief that “every horse deserves a chance” so that, no matter what problem a horse brings with it, there is always a good possibility of change and the chance of a better life for the horse, and therefore for the owner.
They will be holding 3 demonstrations each day and are accepting enquiries from the general public for horses to be brought to the show and worked by Gary. Please contact us if you would like further information.www.garywitheford.co.uk
