Welcome to The Unfair ground…That is, if a welcome is what you are expecting? We are a collection of side shows, dance venues and sculptures. A perverse examination of the hopes and fears found in the worlds of traveling amusements. Something wicked this way comes as the unfair ground rolls into town. Mutant dolls juggled by perverse clowns, a modern satirical take on amusement. Roll Up! Roll Up! For the strangest show on earth!

2010 sees a new field from the team that brought you Trash City. Who since debuting at the Glastonbury Festival in 2007, have became a critically acclaimed cult sensation, hailed as one of the most exciting and innovative events to hit the UK festival scene in recent years. Trash City was a genre-bending, definition-defying result of a collaboration between the very best of the UK creative underground. Just when you thought Glastonbury couldn’t get any stranger, wilder, or mind-bendingly entertaining, they go and turn it up to 11.

This is Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome-type entertainment, interspersed with the kind of visual, aural and interactive enjoyment that busy little minds looking for kicks and thrills can only dream of’ Clash Magazine.
