BY KIDS FOR KIDS - POCKET FRIENDLY FUN!
At Summerfest, we believe the best ideas come from the kids themselves—which is why our Junior Management Team has had the important job of handpicking stalls they know children will love! From treats and games to hands-on activities, every stall has been chosen with fun, creativity, and excitement in mind.
Meanwhile, our Senior Team has made sure everything offers great value for money, so families can relax and enjoy the day without worrying about extra costs. It’s all about affordable fun for everyone—because making memories shouldn’t break the bank!
