Sponsored by Partridge Peartree Promotions, and featuring the brilliant UV Arts, the festival is divided into three age categories; from four to six year olds, seven to 12 years old and our teens - ranging from 13 to 16 years old.

“Running for nearly three decades, we’re so proud to announce the return of the longest running Children’s Arts Festival in Northern Ireland!” Festival co-ordinator Fiona McLaughlin said.

“Because we’ve been running for so long so many of the children grow up through the festival, attending every year until they go on to become volunteers!
