From superheroes and princesses, to alpacas and tractor rides - Chester House Estate has unveiled its fun-packed line-up for July’s Kids Summer Festival.

Iron Man, Captain America, Tinkerbell and Princess Anna from Frozen will be meeting and greeting festival goers on Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th July. Also confirmed for the festival is the chance to groom Shetland ponies, meet the alpacas, hop on a tractor and jump on an inflatable.

Added to the line-up is a bursting timetable of live stage shows including science workshops, magic shows, a disco and dance shows. There will be a large sandpit, craft activities and a circus workshop where children can test their balance on the daring tightrope.

This is the second year running that the festival is taking place. Last year, it was a sellout, so the Chester House Estate team are urging people to book tickets in advance.

Cllr Helen Howell, North Northamptonshire Council’s Deputy Leader and Executive Member for Sport, Culture, Heritage and Tourism, said: “The festival is really starting to come together now, and we are excited to unveil this year’s line-up. We know that the Marvel superheroes and Disney characters are going to be a hit with everyone attending the festival.

“There is entertainment, live shows and activities for all the family, included as part of the admission price. A soft play zone is dedicated for toddlers, and the Archaeological Resource Centre will be open, where children can wash and find historical artefacts.

Cllr Jason Smithers, Leader of the Council, added: “We are thrilled to host our second Kids Festival this July. Tickets sold out very quickly last year and we would hate for you to miss out, so please book your tickets online well in advance to secure your spot.”
