What is Pandemonium!?
Hello and welcome to Pandemonium! our very own children’s festival for kids from our Wee Folkies up to 10-years-old!
The Pandemonium! (5+) and Wee Folkies (under 5s) tents are a hive of activity over the weekend. Situated close to the Purity Village Stage, we’re perfectly positioned for parents and children to have fun together.
We are safely tucked away in a dedicated area of the site, but close enough to the main action to be a real part of the event. You can book a place for our workshops or drop-in and get creative in the arts zone, either way there is something for everyone.
Pandemonium! 2024
Get your dancing shoes on and strut your stuff with Pandemonium!. We are getting jiggy with it and you are going to have a ball. Our Pandemonium! programme is designed to get children from 0 – 10 years old moving and grooving with our crafts, dance and music workshops.
We are super excited to welcome 3D Folk and their MAYPOLE to the Pandemonium! tent this year as well as the amazing CROWDY KIT who will be playing live for our first ever CHILDREN’S CEILIDH
You can get involved with MORRIS DANCING by making your own costumes with Garry and enjoy performances and workshops from various Morris teams over the weekend.
The super talented Mary Keith heads up our first FESTIVAL CHOIR, all voices welcome so kids, grab your grown-ups and make some noise.
Get creative with lantern making, robot heads and costume making workshops and catch our very own Dawn Powell bringing our robot sculpture to life in a special STORY PERFORMANCE. Take part in our interactive shows with Jim Bones the DANCING PIRATE and his friends.
You can take part in the stunning lantern parade, join FANDANGOS in the circus tent and shimmy around the site with the fantastic Disco Granny, Sal Tonge, who will be strutting her stuff with her fabulous SILENT DISCO walkabout.
We have family YOGA with Believe-in Yoga, ARCHERY, DRUMMING, FLOWER CROWNS with Ellesmere Eco Flowers and so much more.
The WEE FOLKIES tent will be hosting sensory fun, MUSIC sessions with the fantastic Ben & Rosie and STORIES with the lovely Sue Hoult. Parents are also welcome to feed their babies here, or anywhere they are comfortable, and even lie them down for a nap during one of our quiet times.
Come and join us, we can’t wait to see you there!
