This August the family-friendly Gloworm Festival returns in its new location, Thoresby Park. Now in its third year, the new venue boasts new camping areas that include glamping pods and even VIP glamping.

This family festival caters for children from the ages of 0-13 years and encourages families to play andx have fun in a safe environment. The festival is focused around creative experiences as well as music, entertainment, workshops and theatre production.

Characters including ‘Peppa Pig’ and ‘PJ Masks’ will be performing on the main stage this year, along with performances from ‘Little Mix’ and ‘Daft Punk’ tribute acts to name just a few from the weekend.

The 40-acre site has various areas and zones including the ‘The Great Outdoors’, which has a miniature version of the popular White Post Farm and climbing activities by ‘Clip and Climb’ Nottingham, there is also ‘The Bazaar’ which is home to a ‘circus arena’, ‘The Trapeze Show’ a Victorian fairground and the family favourite ‘The Beach’.

This year, Gloworm has teamed up with toy giant Playmobil as headline sponsors of the event and has also joined with Toymaster who are this year’s main sponsor. Organisers say the event has proved popular with the families as once entry tickets have been purchased, all the entertainment is included so there are no hidden extras.
