With all 12s and under getting in free to Glastonbury, The Kidz Field is Britain's largest free children's festival and offers a feast of treats to delight and entertain them.

Alex, Sid, Andy and Katy will be performing a new show devised especially for Kidz Field in 2013! It will include songs, games, jokes, laughter and require that children MUST join in and have FUN!!!! Also joining in the fun with the Crew are The Star Kids. Alex Winters said, "I love coming to the Kidz Field and performing in the big top. It is always so rewarding and so much fun. The Kidz Field audiences really are the best. Me, Sid, Andy and Katy cannot wait to get to Glastonbury and make people smile."
