Britain's longest-running festival of street theatre, in Winchester city centre, is outlandish, entertaining and free. Spectators are asked to delve into their pockets to fill the eponymous hats that are passed around by the performers.
The festival offers a vibrant mix of oddball characters, stunts, specialist circus, clowning, new world music and workshops for kids. Every year approximately 50,000 people fill the streets of the town to join in the fun.
