Inclusive activities all weekend mean you can join in as much or as little as you choose. There’s always something to do, whatever you are feeling like…
No closed off areas, and if it’s raining you’ll probably get a bit wet…
You’ll be nice and dry if it rains, but it could feel more crowded at times.
Sometimes loud or exciting and energetic – ok to add your own noise too :-)
These activities or performances might still involve music or talking, but they are generally more relaxing and quiet.
Participation is required – get stuck in and be part of the action!
Kick back, relax and watch the spectacle. No need to do anything other than enjoy the show.
Hands on, sensory, tactile and possibly a little messy or wet!
Take something home after the festival – either a thing which you’ve made or a skill you’ve learnt.
These activities need to be pre-booked before the festival. Please check our website to book any remaining spaces.
Activities with extra fee required payable directly to the activity provider on the day or pre-booked.
