Sponsored by Partridge Peartree Promotions, fresh artistic feasts include workshops in edible food sculptures, street art, dance, drama and music. The festival is divided into three age categories; from 4 to 6 year olds, 7 to 12 years old and our teens - ranging from 13-to-16-years-old.

The Playhouse will also offer, due to popular demand, the return of the teen drama intensive week for 13- 16 year olds from Monday 25 to Friday 29 July.

For tots and kids, the festival has been extended to include a breakfast club from 9am- 10am, with morning activities such as yoga for kids, gardening, fun and games.

“This is a celebration of everything delicious and innovative about this place,” festival coordinator Jessica Caldwell said.
