This Saturday, June 4th, sees North Down Borough Council’s Summer Entertainment Programme kick off at the Sunken Gardens.
Jack Wise, the current Street Performance World Champion will be wowing the crowds with his magic and sword swallowing.

Jack has performed live on The Late Late Show, at Leinster House, The Curragh Racecourse, for celebrities including U2 and The Spice Girls, and for corporate audiences around Ireland.
Jack is not only equipped with a razor sharp wit – he is also one of Ireland`s leading sword swallowers!
This year’s street theatre programme will be brought to Bangor by Emergent Events who book and supply the world’s best street entertainers for events in Ireland. Their roster of world-class and international acts have performed for President`s inaugurations and the opening ceremonies of Olympics.
