Thanks for making Wildchild Festival 2023 amazing!

On Wednesday 2 August we welcomed hundreds of you to The Wolseley Centre for a fun filled day out. The day was a huge success, with smiley faces everywhere and a variety of activities and entertainment on offer.

We had arts and crafts, pond dipping in our Wildlife Discovery tent, Wild Yoga and wellbeing. There were attractions such as storytelling and shows including The Hare and the Moon by the Fabularium and Peter Rabbit by Quantum theatre, as well as creative dance workshops and much much more!Ā

The incredible team behind Wildchild Festival!

Of course behind every great festival is a team of dedicated and incredible superheroes. We just wanted to give a big shout out to all the staff, volunteers who generously gave up their time, acts/shows and suppliers who made yesterday possible. It couldn't have happened without you. Thank you!

Below are just some of those involved in making this event happen.
