The whole of the Merton Abbey Mills site is given over to Kidsfest for a day of fun, exciting and innovative things for kids to participate in. These include great hands on workshops in art, crafts, pottery, music, drama, dancing, singing, balloon modelling, DJ skills and drumming. There are soft play and story telling areas, kids archaeological digs, relaxation sessions, rides, face painting and caricaturing. All these fun things together with visits from the local Fire Brigade and Police create a superb feeling of community focused entirely on children.

“I am delighted to have taken part in Kidsfest last summer. Kidsfest offers the local children great organised entertainment for the summer and I know is welcomed by parents as well, who appear to have as much fun as the kids, taking part in the various activities offered ” ……. The Mayor of Merton Councillor John DeHaney
