Scurry Racing
Scurry racing is one of the world’s most exciting, action-packed equestrian sports. Crowds gasp and cheer as a pairs of ponies pulling stripped-down carriages weave their way through a series of obstacles at break-neck speed. As the drivers urge their ponies on to notch up the fastest time, their grooms battle to keep the carriages from overturning.
1066 Pipes & Drums (Hastings)
The 1066 Pipes and Drums were founded in 1998 by ex Scot’s Guards Piper, the late Arthur Jepson. As a civilian band we are proud to support local events in the South East but also performing across England and around the world. These have included performing in front of Royalty, and alongside bands from the British Army, including the Band of the Coldstream Guards at The Shrewsbury Show in 2010. We were the first civilian pipe band to have played on Speakers Green at the Houses of Parliament and have also performed at Tartan Day in New York, The Menin Gate at Ypres and The Cenotaph in London. Locally the band has performed at The Royal International Horse Show at Hickstead and with the lengendary folk band “The Chieftains” at The Brighton Dome for their 50th Anniversary World Tour in 2012.
The band members are male & female with some having served in her majesty’s forces. We are always looking for new members, irrespective of age or ability. The band is lead today by Drum Major Peter Goody and is under the musical direction of Pipe Major Martyn Hacker. We hope you enjoy the music.
The Lamb National Sheep Race
This event really is one for all the family as you watch the stars of track and field: the hardy Herdwick sheep are sheep shape and are a breed known for their agility as they originate from the challenging terrain of the Lake District in Cumbria, and need to be able to jump to negotiate natural hazards. Audience love to watch the sheep, in their individual colours, jumping over fences to complete the race. Amusing commentary from the initial parade where we introduce the runners & riders with names such as "Red Ram" and "No Ewe Turns" and throughout the race describing each sheep’s attempt to bleat the competition.
