The Outsider is a certain for kids....Under 5's go free!

They are doing lots of things for Kids and Family such as family films and outdoor sports.

Unashamed plug for Stokes Bay http://www.stokesbayfestival.co.uk

If the kids get bored with the cartoon cinema, storytelling, street theatre, Punch & Judy etc. then you can always take them to the beach and outdoor paddling pool just a few minutes walk away.

Unashamed plug for Rhythm Festival!

www.rhythmfestival.net

This year we have the Panic Circus back plus our acclaimed Junior Olympics plus lots more things I'm currently working on... it'll be the fabbest yet.

My ten year-old son, Adam. and his friends are acting as "consultants".

Plus under 5's go free and one "child" (5-16) allowed in free with every adult weekend ticket-holder. Early bird weekend tickets are (until 31/03/09) just £82.50 (£90 after) plus camping.

Tickets: www.rhythmfestival.net/buytickets.html

Now that's what I call an unashamed plug.

Don't what ever you do bring them to Blissfields, we hate young humans!

in 2008 Solfest sold 7500 Adult tickets and 2300 kids tickets. My maths is not good enough to work out the ratio here (if anyone fancies doing it I would be interested) but it gives a good idea of not only where the festival's priorities lie, but also how many families realise that it is a great place to bring kids!
