We’ll continue exploring the weird and wonderful side of the festival by having a look at the goings on inside a circus tent and also at what happens when the sun goes down and someone lights a whole bunch of lanterns.

On Tuesday evening, the Lantern Parade of The Woodford Folk Festival wound its way throughout the festival site attracting a considerable amount of attention and a small army of followers.

The parade of floats began at the festival entrance and consisted of many wonderful lantern creatures such as flying pigs and a huge mother earth.

Circus vs. Sideshow: The musical stylings of Juke Baritone and the Swampdogs married to some talented circus performers makes for a show not to be missed.

Circus vs. Sideshow is a fast paced, musical gymnastic feat that sees hulahooping, somersaulting, rope climbing and escapism erupt on stage.
