To top it all off there’s extreme cabaret from Carney Cabaret and The Bo Diddlers (a Morris dance troupe with a difference) performing ‘The Six Rods at Dawn’. The evenings in The Theatre Tent once again feature stand-up comedy as ‘Scary Dave presents’ Robin Ince, Tom Price, Jim Smallman, Felix Dexter, Tony Cowards, Gareth Berliner, Nick Stein, Dougie Dunlop and Sully O’Sullivan.
