Entertainment

Every evening from 7.45 pm you can settle into the GIANTS stadium and as you journey back in time to the horse-drawn and motorcycle chariots; marvel at the magnificent hot air balloon and hold your breath as you watch the aerialists dangle beneath it.

The terror of the stunt bikes and precision driving teams is eclipsed only by the thrill of the trampolinists, who will have you gasping in awe. With so much going on you won't know where to turn.

Finally, the heart-stirring drama of the stockman's ride will settle your nerves before the skies light an impressive fireworks display, which signals the end of the show each day.
