What’s on at the show
Russ Swift MINI stunt driver
Russ Swift returns to the Cumberland Show this year after amazing the crowds in 2010. He will perform his stunts of 2 wheeling, reverse spins, parallel parking and dance routines using MINI cars on the tarmac near the grandstands at Carlisle Racecourse. The stands were packed last time, so we are sure you will want to see these spectacular stunts again, or catch Russ if you missed him two years ago.
