There will also be teams of Morris Dancers, Events for the children, a craft fair & a beer tent (My two favourite words, lol.)

This years free Bridgnorth children’s festival takes place over the August bank Holiday Weekend and features a Climbing wall provided by the Army Cadets, Bouncy Castles, Sumo wrestling, Gladiator Duels and a four Ring bungee trampoline. There is also an Entertainment zone featuring Disco Daddy, Storytellers, Magicians and Dance & Circus Artistes.

Petwise Zoo will also be present, as will The Animal Woman with her magnificent Birds of Prey .
Donkeys from the local sanctuary will also be there. The Crazy Comic Club will also be doing comedy routines and SP8 for Art – The Mark Speight Foundation, which helps to develop creative works, will also be there.

There will also be a chance for kids to try out a range of activities, including Pottery, Card Making, T-Shirt Making plus a few Big Art Activities. There is sure to be something for everyone at this years festival.
