TEMPLE NEWSAM HOSTS STEAM SPECTACULAR WITH FUN FOR ALL THE FAMILY

One of the greatest historic estates in England is set to be transformed
into a carnival atmosphere as Temple Newsam hosts Leeds Steam Spectacular on
Sunday 26 and Monday 27 August. The event which is in its 24th successful
year is the city's biggest steam show. There are host of attractions
including puffing steam Engines, fairground organs, army displays, classic
cars and motorcycles, vintage Tractors and displays for people to visit.
Visitors will enjoy browsing around the trade stands and craft and fine food
tents with a wealth of gifts and delicacies to taste, buy and take home to
try. Families will enjoy the thrills and spills in the main area including
birds of prey from Ridgeside Falconry - the largest falconry display team in
the country. Kids will love the jam-packed entertainment on offer including
a children's corner, funfair, bouncy castle, punch and judy, laser paintball
arena, trampolines, quad bikes and a climbing wall. One performance which is
sure to wow the crowds are the Royal Artillery Flying Gunners Motorcycle
Display Team. Speed, excitement, showmanship and professionalism are the
hallmarks of the Flying Gunners who perform breathtaking stunts crossing in
mid air just inches apart at up to 90mph as well as carrying out amazing
feats of balance on their motorcycles including forming a giant pyramid
formation. The grand finale of the show is a spectacular car jump where a
daring rider will ride his machine leaping over at least four cars. All the
riders in the team are fully trained gunners and have appeared on television
shows including the National Lottery Show, Noel Edmond's House Party, Lenny
Henry Show, Blue Peter and the Brian Conley Show. Gates for the Leeds Steam
Spectacular open at 10am and events continue until 5pm each day. Entrance
costs £6 adults, £5 over 65s and under 16's get in free.
