With the success of this year’s Tidworth Area Festival (TAF) still fresh in our minds,  organisers are already in the midst of planning its 2007 event as they prepare to thrill visitors with even more stage acts than before as well as a myriad of improved attractions for the whole family.

Members of the TAF committee 2007 recently made a visit to the Newbury Showman’s Show; an event purposely put on for festival and show organisers. The event is an opportunity to see a variety of staging and lighting setups, novelty attractions, plus a whole variety of acts, which appear at the many festivals around the UK.

Looking for inspiration for TAF 2007, the team enjoyed the sights of many of these attractions including a unique Robot, which goes on walk-about singing and talking to festival crowds.
