A day of family fun is returning to Harrogate this summer thanks to Harrogate International Festivals.
A special Children’s Festival will be held at St Wildfrid’s Church on 5th July, with sing-alongs, live music and jaw-dropping science demonstrations.
This day-long extravaganza features all kinds of exciting, interactive activities that aim to “spark children’s imaginations and ignite their curiosity.”
Sharon Canavar, Chief Executive of Harrogate International Festivals, said:
“The Children’s Festival is all about encouraging our children to explore the world around them in a fun and inspiring way.
“We know the benefits these interactive activities have and this year youngsters will get the chance to learn about music, science and nature – so there really is something for everyone!”
The acclaimed Orchestra for the Earth brings the wonders of the great outdoors to life through the power of sound in a fun-filled and interactive musical workshop.
Children and families will get the chance to discover how music can portray the “beauty and excitement of nature” – from playful animals and lush forests to blooming flowers and rushing rivers.
With the help of live musicians, youngsters can explore the unique connection between the natural world and the melodies it inspires.
The workshop also includes a sing-along session where everyone is encouraged to join in and make music together.
This event is open to all ages and ideal for families, but it has been specially designed for children aged three to 10.
Joining in the fun are Festival favourites Sublime Science who are back with a bang, bringing with them an array of spectacular experiments and astonishing demonstrations.
This hands-on session, for children aged 5 to 11, takes place at St Wilfrid’s Church Hall and is a great way to encourage children to explore the world of science while keeping them entertained at the same time.
There is also an opportunity to discover Gambian music with kora musician Jali Bakary Konteh, who will be performing a separate afternoon concert that brings West African melodies and rhythms to life under Gaia.
Tickets are available from the Harrogate International Festivals website (harrogateinternationalfestivals.com) or by calling the Box Office on 01423 562 303.
