THE main act for this year's Ilkely Carnival will be Galloping Acrobatics, organisers have announced.
Equestrian performers are encouraging audiences to attend the musicals themed event as they offer an array of show-stopping stunts on their horses Tinker and Casper.
With a rich background in equestrian performing, Rosie Howard set up the show in 2012 alongside fellow acrobats Helen Gilbertson and Imogen Barnes.
Rosie said: “We’ll be grabbing the reins by showcasing our magical horses, who’ll be surfing on skipping ropes and cracking math codes. If you’re looking for razzle dazzle – you’ve come to the right place!"
The Bank Holiday show begins on Monday, May 6 and the Galloping Acrobatics performance will take place on the carnival showground following the day’s annual parade.
