Robots , magic, mime, statues and jugglers, The Hub had it all! 

Launch of street@thehub - The National Street Entertainers Competition Saturday 30 May 2009

 
Hundreds of people came to The Hub and basked in the sun, drinking and eating al fresco whilst being entertained by some of the country’s top street entertainers at street@thehub.
 
The National Street Entertainers competition got off to a dazzling start with star performances from Titan the amazing 8ft Robot, Jason Maverick showcasing his unique illusions and the very original street magician Bob Percy all adding to the atmosphere and ambience in The Hub - the home of street entertainment in Milton Keynes.    
 
The competition, compared by the hugely popular street entertainer, Tim Bat, will take place in the outdoor Piazza at The Hub on the last Saturday of the summer months with the next event on Saturday 27th June.

Titan pulled the most votes, and as he was the ‘special guest performer’ for this inaugural event, he will be invited back to the final.
 
The judges, including members of the public, next voted Woody The One Man Band and Matt The Statue who both tied as their favourite street entertainers.

These artists will now go forward to the grand finale on Saturday 26th September.
