Last weekend saw the arrival of some real-life Transformers at Winterval as the Monster Truck Stunt show pulled into the city.
Daredevil Entertainment are keeping the adrenaline pumping right up to December 22 as they present the 'Winterval Adrenalin Stunt Show' with shows every Saturday and Sunday at 2pm.
Located at Park Road, beside the People's Park, The Adrenaline Stunt Show features jaw-dropping stunts from Planet Big Foot with 3 Monster Trucks, including Uncle Sam, Sheriff, & Titan!
The show is a high-octane experience showcased under Ireland’s Largest Ever Big Top.
For those who would prefer a 'slightly’ more sedate sit-down show at Winterval, a visit to Garter Lane with the ‘Trash Test Dummies’ is a must.
The award-winning Dummies Corp., the Australian leader in comedy bring their show ‘Trash Test Dummies’ a slapstick children's comedy to Winterval audiences every weekend.
Prepare to never look at the humble household wheelie bin in the same way again. The award-winning Trash Test Dummies amaze and delight Winterval audiences. Winners of the Best Children’s Presentation at the Adelaide Fringe Festival 2015 and 2016 and runners-up for the Children’s Choice Award Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2016, the Trash Test Dummies are as full of laughs as their bins are full of surprises.
The new after-dark programme of events at 'The Winterval Big Top Live' also continues and will host a series of events, artists and performances throughout the festival from this Friday. Artists include Gavin James, Mick Flannery, Stereo MCs, EMF, Tumbling Paddies, Qween and The Dublin Gospel Choir and 30 Years of House Music with Tasty Choons for Tasty People.
