UP TO 30,000 people are expected to attend Britain’s biggest family festival to take part in hundreds of activities and glimpse some of kids’ TV’s biggest stars.

Geronimo Festival, dubbed ‘Glastonbury for kids’, made its debut in 2015 and promises to be an entertainment experience like no other when arrives at Harewood House, on Sunday and Monday, May 1 and 2.

Hosted by Cbeebies presenter Alex Winters, the day will see BBC megastars including Justin Fletcher (aka Mr Tumble), Mr Bloom, the stars of Swashbuckle and Andy Day taking to the stage.

Other entertainers include a circus, theatre companies, motorcycle display teams, jousters, acrobatics, storytellers, trapeze artists, Bollywood dancing, princesses and a sheepdog display.

Meanwhile children will be able to take part in hundreds of exciting activities including graffiti art, roller skating, puppetry, circus skills, den building, gold panning, free falling and a trapeze school across the two sites.

The event is the brainchild of dad-of-seven Simon Goldman, who gave up a lucrative career in import and export to set up his own festival after struggling to find something appropriate to entertain his children.

Simon, 45, from Salford, said: “We have always gone out as a family, from country fayres to festivals and we never found anything which kept all of our children entertained.

“I decided I was going to create something which would be suitable for all of them, not just either the younger or elder ones.

“I started to keep notes on everywhere we went – the activities we did and the things we saw – and used this to inspire Geronimo.

“I quit my job in 2014 and decided to focus on Geronimo full time. People told us we were completely crazy to risk everything but I never doubted my decision for a second.

“Even now, hundreds of thousands of pounds and two years later working 16 hours a day, I have never regretted my decision, not even for a second.

“Last year was amazing – seeing the smiles of my children and those of the 12,000 people who came made it all worthwhile.”

This year Geronimo, who return to Cheshire on May 29th and 30th, have partnered with Cancer Research UK Kids & Teens as their official partner charity.

Cancer Research UK Kids & Teens launched in January 2015 with the aim of raising money for research specifically into cancers affecting children, teens and young adults. Through raising money and awareness, the charity hopes to better understand these cancers and find kinder treatments and cures.

Geronimo will raise money through a series of initiatives including a special VIP Area, optional donations on tickets, merchandise, bucket collections and a clothes donation drive on site.

Tickets £25 cost for a day, and £40 for a weekend ticket while under 2s go free.
