Event organiser, Stewart Robinson, said: “We are providing three fantastic days for the people of Halifax and surrounding areas.

“We are certainly proud to be able to bring a huge show back to the town for a weekend of fabulous entertainment which everyone can afford to visit.”

Children can test their skill on one of the UK’s biggest fun houses as well as bungee trampolines, Zorbs and water boats.

The event will also feature an arena which will see the Little Nippers Terrier Racing Team performing on the Saturday and the Mark Stannage Stunt Display Team on the Sunday.
