This year we have TWO headline acts performing, along with the usual family friendly variety of entertainment across the show field.
The Discover Ilkley Arena and a specially created Ring Arena will host performances from both the impressive BMX Show and amazing Mini Pony Show, along with regulars Ilkley Gym Club and the Owl Adventures Flying Show, and joining us for the first time Ashleigh Murphy and her Search Dog Demonstration with Boss and Ozzy.
With The BMX Show you can expect the riders to to fly through the air performing the most breath taking tricks and stunts – which include the audience favourite – ‘The Backflip’. Featuring only the very best BMX riders, including RedBull athletes, The BMX Show to guarantees you see the most impressive tricks – usually only seen on TV.
Have you ever seen a pony jump through three hula hoops in a row? How about a pony playing the piano? A ukulele? A kick drum? Or maybe doing mathematics with children? Dancing? Playing football? Tooting a honky horn?! All this and more happens in The Mini Pony Show displays! With plenty of audience participation, The Mini Pony Show is an equestrian attraction like you’ve never seen before!
PLUS we have the very popular fun dog show, free craft tent, live bands on the Ilkley Rocks and Acoustic stages, fun fair*, food and trade and charity stalls, and a whole lot more!
