An impressive line-up of action-packed displays and events will be on offer in the Spire Solicitors Grand Ring at the Norfolk Show.
*The Adrenaline Tour quad bike stunt display
Making their debut appearance at the show, the quad bike team soar over 30ft high in a series of breathtaking aerial stunts. Get set for spectacular tricks on quad bikes and motorbikes including quad freestyle, unusual in the UK, with huge jumps over ramps.
Jason Smyth will also enthral you with his precision as he catches memorabilia 30ft in the air above an articulated rig.
The Adrenaline Tour is accompanied by Clive Shaw Trucking, which rolls out a show-stopping fleet of American trucks including the Kenworth W900B American truck owned by Burt Reynolds.
*RAF Falcons parachute display team
The Grand Ring sees the return of another military favourite, as the RAF Falcons parachute display team jump from up to 12,000ft to perform an awesome freefall display at speeds of up to 120mph.
*Band of the Parachute Regiment
The Show's official band performs at a wide range of formal, state and commemorative events. Its highly
trained musicians are also soldiers and trained medics and entitled to wear the coveted maroon beret. Over the years the band has deployed to locations around the world including the United Arab Emirates, Iraq, Qatar, Cyprus and the Falkland Islands.
*Equestrian programme and Horse of the Year Show qualifier events
Throughout the show there is a stunning programme of professional horse-riding and qualifying events.
This year's competitions in the Grand Ring include Cobs ridden, showjumping with Ride and Drive and the prestigious International Stairway, heavy horse turnouts, scurry driving and many others.
