Rewind has always been famed for its fun, family atmosphere and this year will not disappoint - the festival will be rolling out its most comprehensive entertainment line up yet! Celebrating the ethos of the festival, the kids area will provide families with extra entertainment in a safe space to explore together. It will act as a base for the incredible activities laid on for the generations who come to Rewind together year in, year out. The programme will be a mixture of activities throughout Saturday and Sunday including opportunities to party, make & create. Ziggy’s will be hosting circus skills workshops, family sports days and giant bubble parties.

Open between 11am and 6pm, this will be a relaxed hub welcoming families, entertaining and allowing them to get creative! Taking part in the family programme will be fun, accessible and engaging for all ages.

Tote Bag Decorating
For the first time ever, organisers will be providing kids with an awesome Rewind tote bag that kids can colour in and keep their festival goodies inside. All the family can get creative and join in and even better can take the bags home as a memento of the weekend too!

Not disco ready? No problem! Early afternoon in the family area will be spent getting ready for the ultimate 80s disco, making tutus and giant bows, boomboxes and gold chains, getting painted and glittered ready for a dance throw down!

The Youngertones Disco... Party Time!
The kids will show the adults how it is done at the Youngertones Disco. There will be inflatables, prizes and dance alongs to the ultimate retro tunes to get everyone in the party mood- all within a safe, family-friendly environment!

The Gaming Hour
Kids will be able to enjoy some big fun on Rewind’s giant group games... Whoever said that the best things in life come in small packages was definitely wrong!
