For the Littlest Ones
A gentle, welcoming space for little ones to play, explore and take part at their own pace, with activities designed especially for younger children and their grown-ups — plus Singing Mamas joining for an hour each day.
6–8pm Daily
A relaxed space for older kids to hang out, get involved and soak up the festival atmosphere. Expect all sorts of crazy fun indoors and out — games, performing, pantomime horses and plenty of playful surprises.
A Calm Space
If it all gets a bit much, head over to the Regulation Station — a calm, private drop-in space in the Children's Area where children up to age 12 and their parents or guardians can pause, reset and regulate together.
It's especially helpful when big feelings overwhelm, and it meets sensory overload and neurodivergent needs, with gentle sensory tools, a quieter enclosed area and simple support to help everyone settle. Families can sign in for a private 20-minute session, with a parent or guardian staying with their child throughout.
