About

The Festival brings together children, young people and adults with or without a disability to take part in a wide variety of activities. There's a full day time programme and each evening there's a disco or live band, or the Festival's own talent show.

The Festival is great for families as well as groups, or individuals with support. Activities include archery, zip wire, climbing, aerial adventure, pedal karts, caving, kayaking and paddleboarding. There's also a large art and craft tent and music workshops. People stay for a week or weekend, or come for a day visit.
