UK Summer Family Festivals Offer Music, Food, and Activities in August 2026

Kids Fest Big Feastival North Northamptonshire Alex James farm family festivals

The Chester House Estate in North Northamptonshire will host Kids Fest on 8‑9 August 2026, providing families with unlimited access to inflatables, zorbing, climbing walls, bungee trampolines, tractor rides, alpacas and live entertainment. Tickets are priced under the GB Summer Savings VAT reduction, and council leader Martin Griffiths urged families to book early.

From 28‑30 August, Alex James’s farm in the Cotswolds will hold the Big Feastival, combining music, food and family activities. James said, “It’s that mix of food, music and family. Food is universal – it’s something everyone can enjoy together.” The line‑up includes Basement Jaxx and Bastille as headliners, chef demonstrations, cooking schools for children, and comedy shows. Both events aim to provide affordable, inclusive summer fun for children and parents.
