Tuesday 26th May 2009: Tourism Tamworth has two new shows on sale from today, with both productions venturing onto the Capitol Theatre stage.

Harry and Me is a cheeky and playful show for the whole family with a circus based performance. Humorous and unexpectedly poetic, Harry and Me is a circus as you have never seen before. Far away from the world of sawdust, elephants and fairy floss this show is a unique piece of theatre that beautifully marries music with highly skilled circus arts.
