A Guiness World Record-breaking freestyle footballer will be showing off his skills this weekend.

Dan Magness will be showing off his football tricks to visitors at Willows Activity Farm on the weekend of August 7 and 8.

The performer, known for appearing in adverts and TV shows, will be taking part in the farm’s Fantastic Football Fun weekend.

He will be helping visitors learn some tricks as well as performing in The Arena three times a day.

Freestyle football involves keeping a football in the air using different parts of the body apart from the elbows and wrists and involves performing different tricks and even acrobatics.

Andrew Wolfe, director at Willows Activity Farm, near St Albans, said: “We can’t wait to welcome Dan to Willows this weekend.

“His outstanding skills with a football are impressive to see and I know youngsters – and grown ups – will be excited to join in.”

This is all part of Willows’ summer holiday schedule, with plenty of other events and activities taking place every day throughout the summer.

This includes a foam party, a maze, and the chance to meet another famous face.

CBeebies' Jeremy Fisher from Peter Rabbit joins the farm’s summer line-up.
