What is a pig race?
With music during the pre-show, the swine master-announcer gives background information about pigs in general then about racing pigs. The swine master introduces our pigs to the audience, the caretaker places silks on the pigs and gets them ready to race. We then pick out cheerleaders from the audience to "root" the pigs to victory. The race begins with a "Call To the Post" and the sound of a bell, and they're off. The cheerleader who picked the winning pig gets a ribbon that says "I picked the winner at the pig race" with our logo on the ribbon. The second race of the show features different pigs and the running of a steeplechase race, with hurdles for the pigs to jump. Up to 6 shows, 12 races every day!

Back at Wapping Fair for their third year in a row, Tenet is out to bring real rock and roll to the masses. 2002 sparked the beginning for the band and they have not stopped since. The members of Tenet have been brought up with rock in their blood and they never cease to amaze audiences with their choices of covers and amazing originals.

Their principle is "to play music and love every second of it!"

It's all part of the Wapping Fair entertainment brought to you to watch in awe and wonder every year.

His slapstick will get the kids howling. The one liners gives the adults a chuckle. All are impressed with the magic!
