SUPERBRAIN QUIZ
Our ever-popular quiz along with our superstar question setter, Russ Hollowell, will be providing us with the extraordinary mix of questions, ranging from difficult to very difficult (depending on whether or not you know the answer!!), in topics such as Music, Sport, Literature, and the infuriating Picture Round where we can all recognise the face, but not remember the name!  After being on holiday sunning himself during last year's Festival, Russell himself will be our question master for the evening. So, teams of four again, on with the thinking caps, for an evening of fun competing for the 'Festival Quiz Shield'

SOME ROBBIE SOME DAY
Tonight, Paul Reason as Robbie Williams performs for you with his band. Paul is renowned as the world's best Robbie Williams tribute act - if you want entertainment you've come to the right place! Tonight the show is based around a mixture of Robbie's concert and TV performances with a strong emphasis on the humour and showmanship that has made Robbie such a star. Supporting Paul tonight is John Stainer. With over thirty years experience of singing and playing his guitar with various rock, blues, funk,soul and country bands, John's past influences are now reflected in his solo performances, where he creaters his own style of covers and original material with great passion.
