This summer welcomes the launch of The Bridport Children’s Festival, a one day event dedicated to art, music, dance and food just for kids.

Once inside the festival, children can write their names down to take part in whichever sessions they like, and the choice really is enormous!

Whether your child might like to try the ukulele, go on a yogi-adventure, have fun with percussion, make a puppet hungry caterpillar, explore patterns and textures with print-making, have a taster session of the Oop…Wow! Art group, explore their savoury tooth with the Bridport Local Food Group, make music with some Funkee Munkees, join in with Dorset Forest School or become a dragon through dance and movement, the list of amazing groups to join really is endless!

With such strong arts around the Bridport area, the festival has invited local professional practitioners to be part of the only collaborative children’s arts event of its kind and the event promises to be not only a fantastic day of fun but a great way to discover and try groups that run throughout the year.

Bridport Children’s Festival has been organised by volunteers and all workshop leaders are also giving their time for free in support of art and education for children. Funds raised by the festival will help to support local children’s groups that run throughout the year, with this year’s funds helping Bradpole Pre-School.

Bridport Children’s Festival in from 10am until 4pm on Thursday July 27 at the Millennium Green in Bridport.
