Entertainment all day,
all around the festival site!
In addition to our stages we have a further entertainment programme going on around site. We have activities for both adults and kids, from free games, children's cookery classes, children's fairgrounds, circus skills, foraging sessions, mini zoo, stilt walkers, magicians and so much more!
Step right up and have a go! Our circus skills area is a hit with kids and big kids alike. Try your hand at juggling, plate spinning, diablo, flower sticks and more — all guided by our friendly circus crew.
It's free, it's fun, and you might just discover a hidden talent!
Take a trip down memory lane with our retro games zone! Giant Jenga, Connect 4, Pac-Man and loads of classic garden games to keep the whole family entertained between all the eating and drinking.
Our mini zoo is always a favourite with the little ones! Meet and cuddle a variety of friendly animals in a safe, supervised environment. A lovely hands-on experience for animal-loving kids of all ages.
Available at selected venues.
No festival is complete without a fairground! Our classic children's fairground rides add that extra bit of magic to the day. Perfect for younger visitors looking for a thrill between all the foodie fun.
Keep your eyes peeled for our amazing stilt walkers roaming the festival site! These larger-than-life characters bring colour, fun and plenty of photo opportunities as they mingle with the crowds throughout the day.
Ready, Steady, Woof!
Our dog-friendly agility course is open for practise all day, with a main competition to crown the top dog! Whether your pup is a seasoned pro or just in it for the fun, it's all about wagging tails and happy paws.
Get practising and let the zoomies begin!
