Seahouses has a long history as a seaside village providing year round fun including that of the annual Slater's Fair which adds to the entertainment offered to visitors and locals alike and is part of the local heritage.

Fairgame Theatre Company performs a riotously witty insight into the fun of the fair called Keep On Moving. Taking inspiration from the fairgrounds of bygone times and the lives of those who lived and worked them, Keep on Moving whirls you back to a time of toffee apples and bearded ladies, bare-fisted boding matches and illusion. Would you put your head in a lion's mouth – even when it's got bad breath?

Welcome to the world where the colours are heady and strange, the music live and alluring, where your heart beats quicker in anticipation and just about anything can happen…

With humour, bawdiness, and music, Keep on Moving reveals the lives of the travelling families and the fun and glamour or the fair that they depend upon for their livelihoods.

This fast moving play is suitable for the whole family.

Festival chairman Diana Herbert said: 'The local voluntary committee are delighted to be working with Highlights Rural Touring Scheme to bring great theatre to our local community."

Seahouses Festival weekend takes place from June 20-22, however entertainment, classes and events are provided throughout the year. During 2008 the festival is focusing on the Cultural and Spiritual Heritage of the local area, celebrating all aspects of life including who comes to settle, trade, raid, convert and entertain. Therefore during the year there will be plenty to learn about from Vikings and Celtic Christians to local families, and in the case of Keep on Moving the travelling communities who have traditionally entertained at this seaside resort.
