Two performers dressed in vintage-style clothing ride motorised shopping trolleys covered in tartan fabric during an outdoor event. One holds a bright green umbrella while both raise their arms in animated gestures. Behind them, a crowd watches near colourful market-style tents set up on a grassy area with trees and a large classical building in the background.
A vibrant outdoor performance featuring dancers in traditional Indian attire. The central dancer wears an ornate, multi-coloured dress with intricate patterns and flared skirt, surrounded by performers in embroidered white and red costumes. One performer holds a decorated horse prop. Behind them, festival stalls and onlookers create a lively backdrop on a grassy area with trees.
Two street performers stand on a wooden box during an outdoor event. One wears a black outfit with red and black striped socks and is wrapped in chains, holding a green prop. The other is dressed in a striking red and black costume with matching striped socks and boots. Behind them, a crowd watches near colourful tents and a large classical building, creating a lively festival atmosphere.
A busy outdoor festival scene in a park on a sunny day. Crowds of people walk and gather near colourful tents, including a bright yellow and pink stall, and a traditional carousel with a striped canopy. An ice cream van is parked on a paved path to the left. The foreground shows a flowerbed with neatly trimmed greenery, while large trees provide shade in the background.
A performer balances on a very tall unicycle with arms outstretched during an outdoor event. Another performer in a red athletic outfit stands nearby, appearing to assist. Behind them, a large crowd watches, with colourful bunting, trees, and fairground stalls visible in the background on a sunny day.
Two performers in Viking-themed costumes stand beside a decorated cart shaped like a wooden boat, complete with shields, a striped sail, and fishing nets. The cart is on grass in front of a brightly lit carousel with colourful horses. People in summer clothing watch the scene, and trees and a historic building are visible in the background, creating a lively festival atmosphere.
A traditional Punch and Judy puppet show takes place outdoors, with a striped red and white booth and colourful illustrated top panel. Two puppets, Punch in red and a crocodile, are visible inside the booth. A blackboard to the side lists show times, and a clock sign indicates the next performance. Several children sit on the grass watching, with greenery and part of a building in the background.
A decorative Victorian-style bandstand painted in blue stands in a park during a sunny outdoor event. People gather around and inside the structure, with groups chatting and walking on the grass. The background features lush green trees, a white marquee tent, and a tall flagpole with a Union Jack flag. The scene is lively, with festival activities taking place in a bright, open setting.
A lively outdoor performance featuring a traditional Indian brass band dressed in ornate white outfits with colourful embroidery and bright red turbans. Musicians play instruments including a trumpet, clarinet, and drums, with a red banner reading “RHBB” on the trumpet. The group stands on grass under trees, with festival stalls and people visible in the background on a sunny day.
