A TASTE of India is on show at Middlewich FAB Festival this year.

Dancers, illusionists and aerialists usually enjoyed by the Maharajas of India will create elaborate stories acted out to live music.

The entertainers will perform a Kalbelia dance inspired by the dangerous cobra snakes charmer, whilst the juggling skills of the Fakirs will also be on show.

The festival also welcomes back the Rajasthan Heritage Brass Band, whose musical style honours the circus community of the Nats with flute, mangiras and dholak instruments.

Cllr Pam Farrell, Mayor of Middlewich, said: “Festival goers are in for a truly fabulous treat this summer with the many international cultures being represented.

“I am delighted to welcome back the Rajasthan Heritage Brass Band after their success last year and have Circus Raj join us.

“I am excited to be part of this experience at FAB Festival.”

Tickets for Friday night’s concert with Lightning Seeds are available to purchase at fabfestival.co.uk/shop.

Early bird tickets are available until May 1.
