Kidsfest will run from 3 pm – 6 pm with a £5 entry fee for 1 adult and 3 children. This will give a limited number of free rides on the provided amusements and include a free BBQ, drink, face painting for the kids. Kidsfest is a fancy dress event with prizes for the best dressed. The Texas Kickers Line Dancers will also be there in the afternoon. Anything else we can get to entertain will be there on the day.

A complimentary glass of wine will be provided. Tickets must be retained to get access to the food. Entertainment will be provided in the form of music, thanks to Big Band Sound and the Derry Jazz Quartet.
