The festival is not just for adults; children aged 15 and under go free, with activities such as Forest School and a craft tent set to keep them engaged throughout the weekend.
Simultaneously, a cinematic feast awaits film lovers. Strode Theatre will be screening "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny" and "Greatest Days" from the 14th - 19th of July, with "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" available on the 15th of July.
On Saturday morning, 15th July, the St. Benedict's Church Hall on Benedict Street will host a Repair Café from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm.

Music lovers will also enjoy an event titled 'Show and Dance' on the same day, from 8:00 pm to 1:00 am. Hosted by Natami Music & Kine Recording Studio at The Red Brick Building, the night will be filled with the best of Reggae music. Tickets are available from £20.00 to £25.00.

The shows, scheduled for 2:00 pm and 6:00 pm, promise to take the audience on a humorous journey through Britain's history. Prices remain the same as in 2022, but the cost for the evening show has been reduced in response to the ongoing cost of living crisis.
