Stuart Barnes shows how he trains his sheepdogs during a Sheepdog Herding Demo (Every Day).
Stuart has been working with canines for more than 30 years, understanding and communicating with them on a level that they understand, which has given him great insights about what he calls ‘The Way of the Dog’. Using his ‘pressure on, pressure off’ technique, Stuart has helped thousands of dog owners to gain a better understanding of why their dogs do the things they do, resulting in a closer relationship with their canine companion.
Audiences gain a greater understanding and appreciation of the amazing skills collie dogs process instinctively and can be taught, and the bond they can form with their handlers.
The Dog & Pony Show (Every Day) is a fun-filled live animal arena attraction that combines trained dogs, miniature ponies and comedy entertainment to create an engaging family experience for UK events. Designed to appeal to visitors of all ages, the show blends animal talent, audience interaction and light-hearted humour into a performance that works particularly well at agricultural shows. Its relaxed and approachable atmosphere helps make it one of the most accessible forms of live family entertainment within the UK events industry.
The performance features a variety of entertaining routines involving highly trained dogs and ponies working together within the arena environment. Clever tricks, playful interaction and comedy timing all contribute to the appeal of the display, helping keep audiences engaged throughout the performance. The animals’ personalities play a major role in the success of the show, creating memorable moments that children and families especially enjoy during live outdoor events.
Worcester Reenactors / Battle of Worcester Society Arena Displays (Every Day) will feature engaging military drill demonstrations including musket drill (with blank firing), pike drill and the use of drums and colours, bringing the sights and sounds of the period vividly to life. These displays are choreographed to showcase historical tactics, discipline and pageantry.
Alongside this, their Living History Area will present both military and civilian impressions, allowing visitors to explore everyday life of the period beyond the battlefield. This will include demonstrations of clothing, equipment, and daily activities. They also plan to cook period food, prepared on raised fires as part of the authentic encampment setting, adding an immersive sensory element for visitors.
Funding for these activities has been provided by the Visit Worcestershire Civil War Commemoration Fund. The Civil War 375 campaign marks the 375th Anniversary of the Battle of Worcester.
Beautiful Shire Horses (Every Day), courtesy of the Shire Horse Society, and their handlers talk audiences through their role as working animals both in the past and present day, as well as their breed qualities that make them suitable for the jobs they do.

At the Lake
Tewkesbury Junior Anglers: Discover the Magic of the Water!
Cast into Action! An Unforgettable Lakeside Adventure for the Next Generation
Join Christopher and the Tewkesbury Junior Anglers team for an immersive, hands-on journey into the world of angling and freshwater ecology. Located right at the lakeside, their interactive village is designed to inspire a love for the outdoors, a respect for nature, and a passion for the sport of fishing.
Whether you are a budding pro or picking up a rod for the very first time, the expert-led workshops provide a safe, supportive, and high-energy environment for everyone to succeed.
The Five-Station Experience
The Tewkesbury Junior Anglers team believe in ‘learning by doing’. Their workshops are split into five specialised stations, ensuring every participant stays active and engaged. With a dedicated adult instructor at every station, they maintain a strict 1:4 staff-to-child ratio, the gold standard for safety and personalised coaching.
1. The Strike Zone: This is where the magic happens! Under the expert guidance of pro-coaches, children get hands-on with a rod to feel the excitement of a real “strike.” The team focus on patience, timing, and ethical “Catch and Release” practices to ensure both the fish and the mini anglers have a great day.
2. The Water Lab: Become an environmental detective. Using specialised long-reach litter pickers, kids participate in a ‘Waste Retrieval’ challenge. It’s a fun, competitive way to learn how everyone can protect our blue spaces from plastic pollution using safe, pre-cleaned demonstration props.
3. The Casting Academy: Master the ‘Underarm Flick!’ The dry-land academy turns technique into a game of skill. Using professional rods and soft rubber practice plugs, children learn accuracy and coordination in a 100% safe environment.
4. The Angler’s Knot: A true test of dexterity. In this station, children learn the essential knots that every angler needs to know. It’s a fantastic way to develop fine motor skills and take home a practical ‘life skill’ that lasts a lifetime.
5. Biology Under the Microscope: Discover the secret lives of fish. Using high-resolution visual aids and ‘super-zoom’ imagery, the team take children through a close-up look at fish anatomy, from gills to lateral lines, exploring the incredible science that happens beneath the surface and meet ‘Fishtaculous Colous’
