Whitchurch Conservation Group is excited to announce that tickets for their award-winning family arts festival – Whitchurch Children’s Festival – are now on sale at www.whitchurchchildrensfestival.co.uk
The festival won ‘Best Family Festival’ at the UK Festival Awards 2023 and is funded by Arts Council England. It will take place on Saturday 26th and Sunday 27th July 2025.
The festival is a weekend extravaganza for all the family, with hands on arts and crafts workshops, live music, family theatre, poetry, dance and drama, as well as all the usual child friendly activities such as facepainting, bouncy castles and donkey rides.
Ticket prices are spectacularly good value at £5 each and this price includes all activities once inside the festival. The festival is targeted at children of primary school age.
The theme for the 2025 festival is the River Test chalkstream and many of the activities are themed to this so that children learn whilst having hands on fun. The voluntary community group also won a community grant from the Hampshire and Isle of White Wildlife Trust towards the festival who will also be present at the festival to help children, and their families, learn more about the River Test.
Lucie Follett Maitland, Chair of Whitchurch Conservation Group, says “We are so excited and can’t wait for this year’s festival. It attracts visitors from a 30-mile radius as it is just such excellent value and offers families a wide range of activities.”
