A WEEKEND of non-stop fun for children is planned when KidsFest and AdventureFest return this month.

The festivals will be held as part of CarFest South at Laverstoke Park Farm, near Overton, over the weekend of August 25 to 27, offering entertainment, games and activities for visitors of all ages.

Pudsey’s Spot stage is the must-see stage for children and families. The stage is home to some of the biggest names from CBBC and CBeebies and will be filled with music, dancing, and games. Pudsey’s Spot will also host special appearances from Bedtime Stories, Basil Brush, Horrible Histories, Andy & The Odd Socks, and Yolanda's Band Jam.

The festival will also be welcoming Young Driver back to CarFest as its under-17 driving partner. Their team of specially trained driving instructors will be providing taster lessons for 10 to 17-year-olds throughout the weekend.
