Kids’ Garden
Clownish capers, playful pranks, arts, crafts, story-telling, and extremely entertaining workshops. It’s fun, fun, fun in our Kids’ Garden. We try to make our activities free, but there maybe some that will incur a very small charge, and we’ll mark these very clearly on the day. Here’s a taster for what’s in store:
Chocofrolics
Expect the cheekiest of chocolatey smiles after your kids take part in one of Simon Dunn’s extraordinarily fun-fun-fun master-classes. From frogs and dinosaurs to mobile phones and sunglasses, they’ll get to create some imaginative chocolate novelties, learn lots about chocolate, and come away with their very own personalised chocolate lolly. Just don’t expect them to share it.

Circus Stardust
The best of the big top comes to Lawnfest. Acrobats, jugglers, crazy clowns on stilts, fire-eaters. Human Cannonballs. Be prepared for an awesome extravaganza of spectacular circus tricks from the award-winning Circus Stardust team.

Nadia Shireen
Once upon a time there was a girl called Nadia who bewitched an entire audience with tall tales she had written and illustrated about a Good Little Wolf, a cat that was a magician and some mayhem-making bunnies. Later Nadia announced she’d be coming to Sevenoaks to tell her stories at Lawnfest. Grab yourself a cushion and make your way to the Kids’ Garden Story Corner: let the story-telling spell begin.

Captain Calamity
Enter a world of bubbletastic brilliance as Captain Calamity invites you on board his bubblicious adventure. But watch out! You might find yourself inside one of his giant bubbles, or giggling fiendishly as he creates some outlandishly silly shaped bubbles, places hundreds of little bubbles inside one enormous one, or creates a bubble chain of giant proportions. Ingenious. Hilarious. And very, very bubbly.
Rag Club T-Shirts
Draw. Paint. Create. Then take your design away on your very own Lawnfest T-shirt. A one-off, money-can’t-buy offspring special that’s bound to become your new wardrobe staple!
