Llandudno Victorian Extravaganza 2014 Photographs

We always enjoy the Extravaganza, and this year was brilliant. We performed two shows a day on the Promenade Stage, took part in the daily parade, and did close up magic on the streets.

There’s always somebody on hand with a camera to capture everything that happens at the event, and we thought we’d show you some of the amazing photographs from this year.

Firstly, there’s these images from the official event photographer, Robert Mann. You can view the full set on Flickr, as well as the hundreds of other photographs that he took over the weekend:

Simon Bailey took these wonderful shots:

And Simon’s Photos captured Jay entertaining the bands at the start of the parade:

And what set of photographs would be complete without at least one selfie? Here’s Simon, Jay and Dean enjoying themselves during the parade!

We’re back at the Llandudno Victorian Extravaganza again, for our seventh year!

The event takes place over the Bank Holiday weekend of the 3rd, 4th and 5th of May, and sees the centre of Llandudno transformed into a whirlwind of Victorian activity.

There’s the daily parade, traditional and modern funfair rides, and performances from performers of all kinds. This year, there will be several magicians taking part, so be sure to catch one of their shows.

We’ll be on the Promenade stage twice daily; to see the full timetable for the Promenade stage, click the image to the right.

We’ll also be taking part in the parade, and performing close up magic on the streets all day.

Copies of the Extravaganza programme are on sale now, and can be purchased for £1 from shops in and around Llandudno, as well as the tourist information centre in the library.

Knights and Princesses in Conwy

conwy-knife-juggling

Gallant knights and beautiful princesses, a jester, a magician, balloon models, jousting, bouncy castles and a hot dog stand,  and some beautiful birds of prey… this was our day on the Quay in Conwy.

The main feature of the event was a competition to see who would be the official Knight and Princess of Conwy. The competitors all took part in a bravery test, where Harley the Clown juggled sharp knives over them!

As always, Bernie the bunny was with us, and he made lots of new friends in the Coastal Hawks Project. He enjoyed sitting up high on their tent, watching everyone walk past; and he really liked looking at all their swords and armour.

But most of all, Bernie loved their birds.

You might think that a rabbit would be scared to go near predators like these, but not Bernie!

First of all Bernie tried to persuade Angel, the eagle owl, to give him a ride.

Bernie also met a hungry hawk, and narrowly avoided becoming lunch.

After that, he decided to be a bit more careful!

Finally, Bernie met Merlin and Morgana, two barn owls, with magical names.

Bernie especially liked their white feathers, he thought that they looked a lot like him!

We all had a wonderful day in Conwy, and we’re counting the days until our next event there.

Upcoming Public Performances

Two Eras in One Day

It’s rather fitting that, after a weekend revolving around time travel with Doctor Who, we visited the both the Victorian and Medieval eras in one day.

victorian-christmas-festival-beaumaris

We were in Beaumaris for their Victorian Christmas Festival, performing Christmas themed shows and close up magic for most of the day. Keiran, the dancing statue, also joined us in the square to keep the crowds entertained. It was a little cold and wet, but that didn’t deter the visitors from flocking to the town.

Later that evening, we travelled up to Caer Rhun hall, in the Conwy valley, to entertain the diners at a medieval banquet. The hall was amazing, with roaring open fires to keep everyone warm. It was fabulous to see everyone all dressed up in Medieval costume and joining in the fun and games with such enthusiasm.
