A Large-Scale Family Cultural Experience
Family Festival is a high-footfall, family-focused cultural programme designed to bring towns together through accessible, multi-generational experiences.
It combines entertainment, activity and participation into a welcoming, inclusive day out.
What the Programme Is
Family Festival is built around:
- Live entertainment and performance
- Interactive activities and workshops
- Play, creativity and participation
- Food, drink and local traders
It is designed to be:
- Accessible
- Engaging for all ages
- Easy to attend and navigate
Communities and Partners
The programme is rooted in local participation.
We work with:
- Local performers and activity providers
- Schools and education partners
- Community groups
- Local authorities and town councils
The event is structured to ensure families feel ownership of the space and programme.
Vision and Ambition
Our ambition is to create:
- A flagship annual family event for each location
- A programme that becomes part of the local calendar
- A consistent, repeatable format that can scale across towns
It creates a shared civic moment focused on participation rather than spectatorship.
History
Family Festival is a core Baccanalia programme, developed as part of a wider portfolio of repeatable public events.
It has evolved to become a reliable, high-attendance format with strong local engagement.
