The countdown is on to one of the biggest events in Blackmore's calendar, its four day village fayre.

The event, which takes place over the Whitsun Bank Holiday at the end of May, will be headlined by Terry Cole who holds more than 200 Guinness World Records for his incredible stunts.

Terry, who will be appearing on Sunday, May 25, will entertain the crowds with some of his talents which include breaking chop sticks with his throat and concrete slabs over his head, samurai sword juggling and balancing his body on two spears.

Among his accomplishments he holds the world record for balancing milk crates on his chin when he lifted and held 29 of them.

Mandy Black, who is helping to organise the event, said: "The village fayre will raise money for the charity DEBRA, which helps research and support families suffering from Epidermolysis Bullosa, a terrible skin blistering condition for which there is no cure."
