Entertainment announced so far includes a silent disco tour, an interactive game zone, a comedy club, a circus, storytime yoga, tie-dye workshops, face-painting and a brass band that plays everyone’s favourite Disney tunes!
Music and live theatre will take place in and around the town centre during the festival weekend, the full line-up will be announced soon.
