Families across Ross-shire are being invited to enjoy an afternoon of magic, laughter and balloon filled entertainment as Magic Gareth: BALLOONATIC arrives in Dingwall later this month.

The family show, promoted by Thingvoll Events, will take place at Dingwall Town Hall on Friday 24 July, with doors opening at 2pm and the performance beginning at 2.30pm.

Magic Gareth has become one of the UK’s best known family entertainers, combining comedy, illusions and spectacular balloon creations in a show designed to appeal to children and adults alike.

His performances have attracted millions of online views and have been touring theatres around the country to enthusiastic audiences.

BALLOONATIC promises a lively and interactive experience featuring audience participation, comedy and plenty of surprises along the way.

Among the highlights is what organisers describe as the biggest balloon in the world, alongside a host of magic tricks and colourful creations designed to keep youngsters entertained throughout the afternoon.

The event forms part of Thingvoll Events’ growing programme of family entertainment in Ross-shire and offers another attraction for local families during the summer holidays.

Robert MacLeod of Thingvoll Events said:

“We’re delighted to be bringing Magic Gareth to Dingwall.

“It’s the perfect family event for the summer holidays, and we’re looking forward to welcoming families from across the Highlands for an afternoon packed with laughter, amazement and plenty of balloon madness.”

Organisers are encouraging families to book early, with tickets already on sale through Thingvoll Grog and Plunder.

With schools now on holiday, the show offers an opportunity for families to enjoy a live performance close to home and experience an afternoon of entertainment aimed squarely at younger audiences.
