High quality, memorable entertainment
Jay will be joining Gwrych Castle Trust for their Family Fundraiser on the 4th and 5th of June.
As well as Jay’s magic, there will also be stilt walkers, donkey rides, birds of prey, guided tours, crafts and stalls, and so much more.
The fun starts at 12pm each day, with an entry fee of £5 for adults.
Be sure to visit the Castle’s website and Facebook page for more information:
The Conwy Jester Shows were great fun to do over the summer, and Robert Mann took some great photographs of Jay and Erwyd.
You can view the full set of photographs on Flickr, along with Robert Mann’s other work.

Our friend Erwyd was officially installed as the Conwy Jester last weekend in a traditional medieval ceremony within the walled town.
He’s the first jester to live within the walls of Conwy in over 700 years, and had to prove his worth by completing three trials before he was awarded his jester’s hood.
We were both there to support Erwyd on his big day, and Jay even got to perform a little bit of magic during the ceremony.
You can see both Erwyd and Jay in action during August, at the Conwy Jester show.
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.
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.
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.
