As usual the miniature train rides will be running, the GV Wood Workers will have a workshop and there will be a jumping castle and sideshow alley for the whole family.
KidsFest is now in its twelfth year and has established itself as a fun packed event for the whole family. KidsFest is great value family entertainment and there is something for everyone, so check out the KidsFest website for more information.
