The event which is in its 24th successful year is the city's biggest steam show. There are host of attractions including puffing steam Engines, fairground organs, army displays, classic cars and motorcycles, vintage Tractors and displays for people to visit. Visitors will enjoy browsing around the trade stands and craft and fine food tents with a wealth of gifts and delicacies to taste, buy and take home to try. Families will enjoy the thrills and spills in the main area including birds of prey from Ridgeside Falconry - the largest falconry display team in the country. Kids will love the jam-packed entertainment on offer including a children's corner, funfair, bouncy castle, punch and judy, laser paintball arena, trampolines, quad bikes and a climbing wall. One performance which is sure to wow the crowds are the Royal Artillery Flying Gunners Motorcycle Display Team. Speed, excitement, showmanship and professionalism are the hallmarks of the Flying Gunners who perform breathtaking stunts crossing in mid air just inches apart at up to 90mph as well as carrying out amazing feats of balance on their motorcycles including forming a giant pyramid formation. The grand finale of the show is a spectacular car jump where a daring rider will ride his machine leaping over at least four cars. All the riders in the team are fully trained gunners and have appeared on television shows including the National Lottery Show, Noel Edmond's House Party, Lenny Henry Show, Blue Peter and the Brian Conley Show.
