Whether it is a country show or a music festival, we have missed the roar of the crowd, the buzz of excitement, at this stage we even miss queuing up for a snack and refreshments. The county is slowing getting back to how summers should be with these events that are tentatively planned.
17th – 23rd May
Gandeys Circus
Europe’s largest touring big top show is back! Taking you on an unforgettable fun-filled voyage, around the world in 80 Minutes. They will be at The Big Heath in Knutsford from 17th to the May and will return to the area at Ellesmere Port from 23rd to the 27th June.
Here are six bizarre - but successful - world record attempts made across the county.
The fastest time to jump 10 hurdles by a llama Caspa the llama completed the task in 13.96 seconds at Arley Hall. Caspar, who is owned by Sue Williams, made this record official on September 6, 2017. The animal also holds the record for the highest bar jump cleared by a llama - 1.13m - completed on June 14, 2015.
The fastest marathon in a two-person pantomime costume Phil Cape and Roger Taylor completed a marathon in four hours, 35 minutes and four seconds dressed together as a pantomime horse. The record took place in Chester on October 8, 2017.
