Win some tickets to Lollibop this summer, the UK’s most fabulous festival for kids! With an incredible line up of acts, performances, activities and crafts, this year looks set to be better than ever, and fantastic fun for all under 10 year olds!
Last year we went to the Lollibop Festival for kids and the girls had a wonderful time (read our review of the excellent 2012 Lollibop Festival here!) There were favourite faces like Mister Maker, stage shows such as the Go Go Go Show and plays such as The Gruffalo (which they loved so much they watched twice!) There were tents filled with fantastic arts and crafts activities, interactive storytelling sessions, play areas and live music and they talked about the fabulous day out for months afterwards.
This year we are thrilled to be official Lollibop Blog Ambassadors, and we can’t wait to report back on our time at the new event with the fantastic line up this year! We’ve had word that not only are Peppa and George coming along, but Justin Fletcher (aka Mr Tumble!) will also be doing a two live shows on the weekend days! My girls are so excited! There are going to be storytelling events, science experiments, activities for tweens and a fabulous sensory play area for babies and toddlers! The organisers really have thought out every detail so carefully to suit the needs and interests of children (and their carers) so well.
Here are plenty more facts about this year’s LolliBop:
- LolliBop is the UK’s biggest kids festival, where all activity is aimed at the under 10s.
- The three-day event takes place from August 16 – 18 at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London.
- The line-up includes Cbeebies superstar Justin Fletcher (Saturday and Sunday only), Dick and Dom, Skylanders SWAP Force, Shaun The Sheep Championsheeps, Peppa Pig, Science Museum Live, Postman Pat, The Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Transformers, Poppy Cat, Rastamouse (Friday only) and Cloudbabies.
LolliBop’s live theatre tent – The Lollipalladiam – showcases performances from pioneering and internationally renowned companies and artists.
Tween Town is especially for older kids, with cool activities like DJ workshops, movie editing and beatboxing masterclasses.
Lolli Stops are situated throughout the festival for 3-10 year olds to get crafty, there’s also a 3ft and under zone for pre-schoolers.
The Enchanted Forest will host reading and stories, and there’s also a brand new Discovery Zone, Meadows area, Lolli Promenade and much more.
