With multiple stalls throughout XSite, from 12pm – 4pm, kids can immerse themselves in a variety of arts and crafts activities, from glitter tattoos to carnival crafts, as well as plenty of free, creative, festival-themed games to enjoy. Stilt walkers will roam the centre, while bubble performers will captivate guests outside the main entrance, adding to the vibrant festival atmosphere.
