We are proud to have one of the most vibrant kid's areas on the circuit.  It is absolutely packed with entertainment and activities: Creative chaos in the art tents- make your own t-shirts or costumes, monsters and jewellery or spin your own painting powered by the art trike.  Get messy, make a sock puppet or create an animation for th e main stage screen.  Join in with the Shambala comic wall and be sure to take something you’ve made home to remember the festival.

Join in with your kids; try hula hooping, jump on the crazy bike track, bounce on the trampolines, learn to juggle and when you’re exhausted sit down and be entertained.  In the dedicated little big top there’s a great line up of including puppetry, music, poetry and circus shows.  Plus we’ve got some very special guests, including John Hegley!

That’s not enough?  There’s free face painting, the puppet tent, games, gymnastics, music making, toddler play, trampolines, music sculpture and much, much more! 

Oh, and there's kid friendly stuff throughout the festival, including sandpits carefully positioned to entertain the kids while you laze by the lake in the sun with a cold lager, various climbing areas, workshops in the woods AND don't miss meeting the gorillas in their own habitat in the afternoons!

Watch some of the beautifully animated videos below that were made by Shambala kids over the last few years at the event.
