“March is an ideal time, KidsFest will run for the first five days of the school holidays. This is a great low cost activity for the families to get involved in. We will have a number great value family entertainment and there is something for everyone including a spectacular fireworks display to close the event on the Friday evening”.
“This year we will have different workshops happening each day in conjunction with our themes. This is an excellent way for kids to get back to basics and get them outside” said Ms Thomson.
