Boomtown Fair

Boomtown Fair

This Summer the Boomtown Fair rolls into town, the biggest and most diverse community in the land; an expansive collaboration of music, entertainment, activities, art and tradition. The legend of Boomtown tells it was once a small but prosperous retreat now changed into a land of lawless rebels while town official's work to uphold it's former glory.

Take a stroll around Boomtown...

The Town Centre Stage can boast that every single world class act is guaranteed to get revellers knees above their heads by the second song with a wonderful team of ska-swing enthusiasts booking the cream of the crop to play the main stage.

The Lions Den – Trek into our jungle world of reggae, roots and dub. Dance around our temple and come face to face with real life warriors and stalking tigers, a mix of exotic beautiful animals to get up close and personal with some of the freshest beats in town.

The Invisible Circus – Returning as a late night venue they offer a selected showcase from the immersive extravaganza that is Carny Ville, the most dazzling and gravity defying circus acts of our age, plethora of interactive theatre installations and live music and DJs. Check out the Invisble Circus website.

Downtown – Hoodlums run amock in downtown Boomtown with their own agenda for the fair and the richly bizarre takes hold. Everything from The Body Shop (a twisted costume nuthouse of limbs and livers for dress up), The Leisure Centre (everything to maintain body and mind – get ready to feel the burn with daily Rave-aerobics!) Not to mention the Old Theatre; a sanctuary for free thinkers and misfits where self-expression, magic and perversity is the norm, a place where reality and fantasy blur!

The Roadkill Casino features pole dancing ferrets and badger racing, a scandalous riot for a debauched party backdrop!

What town is complete without a village hall? The Community Centre lays on a traditional knees up in an ASBO Disco, clamber past the burnt out motors and discarded shopping trolleys to find the dancefloor!

The Little Shop of Horrors is a jungle of tropical flowers and all things underground, a line up of the UK's best music producers and world-class artists performing.

Devil Kicks Dancehall is an unashamed celebration of bourbon trash culture on the rocks, dishevelled decadence, vintage glamour and dance-floor fever.

The Bad Apple Bar is an Old West Salon Bar, barrels of different ciders and perrys take hold with late night swinging entertainment.

Kids and Workshops - This year kids are a high priority with family camping and entertainment having it's own dedicated field! Featuring traditional fairground rides, bouncy castle, face painting, story telling, paddling pools, sandpits, puppet shows and cinema.
