2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 - 4 fantastic years
but what about 2011?
Having had a break in 2010 the CHILDREN'S
FESTIVAL is back - with a number of changes.
This year we're linking up with the Bridgnorth
Music & Arts Festival & the
Bridgnorth Food Fair and holding
a ONE-DAY CHILDREN'S FESTIVAL
in and around the Bridgnorth High Street.
Entry to the various Activity
Zones will be via WRISTBANDS.
It all kicks off from 10:30
when you can buy at the venues themselves or from our Information
Zone Marquee in the High Street.
The full Festival wristband
(allowing you to go all the Zones) costs
£5:00 for the first child in a family
and £3:00 for
other siblings. Or you can buy a wristband for just one Zone for
£2:00 per child.
Remember there's FREE
entry for each adult accompanying a paying child - we want you to
enjoy the Festival as a family
The
Activity Zones will
be linked by an Activities Trail
which you can also pick up at the Information
Zone Marquee in the High Street.
