"These pyrotechnicians are pushing the boundaries of theatre" The Times

The World Famous is a company of creative pyrotechnicians with a passion for playing with fire.

They use fireworks, fire, flame and special effects to animate, amaze, celebrate and communicate. Their shows combine pyrotechnics with performance, music, lighting and projections. They will perform a show commissioned for the festival called A SHOW OF CIRCLES inspired by Wiltshire Crop Circles. It starts after dark on The Green, at around 8.45pm. There'll be food and?refreshments on The Green from 7.00pm

Fraser Hooper & Matt Rudkin

Fraser Hooper's InsideOut is a superbly funny piece of wordless theatre. With Matt Rudkin on the sounds, the elastic-faced Hooper giving mime a good name and some truly inspired use of members of the crowd, their new show is utterly absorbing and hilarious.

With original music, live percussion, sound effects and a front door key these two clowns bring the house down and then move in. Contemporary clowning meets cartoon calamities in an inside out spectacular by two of the UK's finest clowns.

Chapeau Magique

Paul-Henri Jeannel has a way with sheets of brown wrapping paper - he makes fabulous hats with them! Watch him make one and then he'll show you how to do it. Before very long you will notice that people all around the festival are wearing brown paper hats! Paul-Henri lives in the mountain village of Die in southeast France and is flying in for the weekend just to show Devizes how to make them!
