Dancing Diggers will make a rare appearance

Dancing Diggers

Coming to the main ring at the Royal Cornwall Show in June - the original JCB Dancing Diggers!

And it is a rare treat. The Diggers limit their appearances to three or four shows a year.

These ten-tonne mechanical monsters put on a creative, artistic and entertaining show which amazes audiences wherever they appear.

They have been described as a down to earth version of the Red Arrows; they have curtsied for the Queen; pirouetted for TV and thrilled thousands all over the world.

Spectacular routines are performed to music like The Phantom of the Opera, the Wedding March and Firebird.

The "choreography" sees the diggers circle and weave past each other with split second precision, and only inches to spare.

But the moves that really draw gasps see the drivers form up and use their hydraulics to turn their machines into sculptures. Buckets and shovels become acrobatic arms, lifting the machines clear of the ground and performing hand-stands.
