Themed Fancy Dress Days

Children

For the kids, entertainment this year is organised by Angel Gardens who will create a specially dedicated Children's Zone with crafts, workshops, entertainment, face painting and more.

Ethos

The aim of the week end is for Barefoot attendees to go back to back to their roots for the weekend, it's hoped that festival goers will reconnect with themselves, sit around the camp fire with the sounds of live drumming in their ears, take a moment out from the stresses and strains of their busy lives and yes - dance barefoot in the sunshine.
