Children were able wide-eyed at magic tricks and open-mouthed and the flame juggling.

Among the most popular events were the dog show in the main arena where four-legged friends showed their fleetness of foot and precision of nose.

For those hankering for less action and more relaxation, there was a bird-flying display and open air theatre.

Parents and children left happy after more than seven hours of fun.
