The new era of gypsy pulls into town this weekend and while it's not fat, A Gypsy Extravaganza is certainly big.
"We are the largest travelling show in the country and what makes us different is that we not only have stalls, we have lots of entertainment and activities forpeople," says Lee Anne Scott.
Shows and activities include a giant kaleidoscope, circus performers, pedal powered merry-go-round, puppet show, hoola hoop show, tug of war, tropical bouncy castles and sack races.
During the day, resident band K2 The Power will be performing, however local musicians and buskers are invited to turn up and take the mic.
A Gypsy Extravaganza will bring unique market stalls including herbal remedies, natural perfumes, revamped and retro clothing, and a range of silver, beaded and ethnic jewellery.
The travellers are opening their community at 5pm on Friday, when stalls, activities and a fire show as well as other entertainment will be performed. Local performers wanting to take part can email: gypsyextravaganza@gmail.com
