Sparky the Robot will be in Ashby tomorrow (Friday) from 11am.

At two metres tall, he talks, dances, plays music, squirts water and causes a sensation wherever he goes.

Sparky is genuine robot with no human parts and tons of personality.

He is fully illuminated at night and is made from a fascinating array of recycled materials.

You can find out more about Sparky HERE.
