Bradford Literature Festival family fun day, Saturday 21 August

 This event happens this weekend in Keighley and is free:


Victoria Park, Keighley: Saturday 21st August 

Free entry, no need to book! Join us for a day of family fun! 
 

Bradford Literature Festival's next Family Fun Day takes place in Victoria Park, Keighley on Saturday 21st August. With activities starting at 10.30am join us for a fabulous day out!  

We have storytelling, live theatre and music, creative workshops and craft sessions, some wonderful walkabout characters, a book hunt, family funfair and more. Highlights include:

The Magician's Monster
Award winning family theatre company Wrongsemble will be performing a magical musical pop up adventure. Join us for The Magician's Monster, which has all the fun and magic of the circus. 

Nature Quest and Look for a Book! 
Bradford Stories will be hiding books for you to find! Keep your eyes peeled and you might receive a free book to enjoy. You'll also be able to pick up your free Nature Quest activity, which will take you on an adventure through the park. 

An alternative Peter Pan!
Cecil Green Arts will be running clay model making workshops inspired by the Peter Pan statue in Lister Park. You can make your own fantastical creature and the wonderful animals will all come together as part of a special installation at Lister Park at our final event on 4th September. What will you make? 

 

 

Storytelling 
Sita Brand will be leading interactive storytelling sessions to engage children in a love of literature. 

Craft sessions
Morwenna Catt will be hosting a drop-in craft making station where you can make fun, playful crafts inspired by the Wrongsemble shows.

Peter Pan Puppet Pandemonium!  
We are pleased to welcome a special crafts session from the Bronte Parsonage Museum. The Bronte’s loved to create their own worlds of imagination, of adventures on the high seas and fantastical characters – they would surely have loved Captain Hook! Join us to bring a character from Peter Pan to life, by creating your own puppet to take home, with wings that flap, or jaws that snap!

Live music
Mr Wilson's Second Liners will be playing high energy music that can be enjoyed by the whole family, and internationally renowned singer songwriter Hussnain Lahori will play a set of Asian-fusion songs and instrumentals. 

And more! 
Learn the skills of the circus including plate spinning, juggling, poi and diabolo with Open Source Arts. Leeds Dance Studio will be inviting children to get active in their dance workshop and our youngest visitors can take part in a baby rave with Boom Chikka Boom. 

We hope to see you there! 

Over the summer we're running a further two Family Fun Days:
Peel Park - Saturday 28th August
Lister Park - Saturday 4th September
