Thread Name: BS: Child-friendly UK festivals
Subject: RE: BS: Child-friendly UK festivals
Believe it or not organisers of many festivals spend hours agonising over this problem. A 'green field' site is useful as children are less likely to drift too far away; we have a special tent for childrens activities- this year some made their own instruments and all the younger children who had produced something, designed their own balloon hats or simply had their faces painted joined in our final parade led by the morris dance workshoppers. In addition we had a special 'ceilidh' organised by 'monsters', and we DO keep an area free for spontaeous football. Unfortunately this is Chester which is the same weekend as Cleethorpes but there are many other festivals which share our aims - look at the programmes they will give you a guide. P.S. Why do they wake us up so early in the morning?
