In addition, there will be a wide variety of children’s activities from dance workshops, forest school to circus skills sessions, a drumming experience and live magician performances to wow all ages. The fabulous artisan market will be filled with local crafters and makers boasting handmade goods and treasures and an array of delicious food and drinks will be available from the likes of Philly’s Pizza and 7 Star Flag Street Food as well as crepes, ice cream and the best brownies in Yorkshire.

Charlotte Hill, Co-Founder of Baby Band, explained: “Our ethos is rooted in the belief that music is for everyone, regardless of age - it brings people together like nothing else. The Baby Band Music Festival is all about celebrating and sharing that joy,

bringing families together to sing, dance and make precious memories. We’re so excited to welcome everyone back for what will be our biggest and best festival yet.”
