THE VERY BEST OF CBBC AND CBEEBIES AT PUDSEY’S SPOT

We are thrilled to announce the launch of Pudsey’s Spot in KidsFest, the must-see stage for children and families, that brings the biggest names from CBBC and CBeebies to CarFest.

Hosted daily by CBBC favourites Evie Pickerill, Nigel Clarke and Isabella Signs, join some of your favourite BBC stars for music, dancing, games, and most importantly…. loads of fun!

Pudsey and Blush will be joined by YolanDa’s Band Jam, Hey Duggee, Bluey and many, many more of your favourite characters brought to life on the stage.

With plenty to keep your little ones entertained and relaxing spaces for the parents, come along to Pudsey’s Spot and join in the fun.

And as Pudsey and his friends turn in for the evening, our big top transforms into a fabulous silent disco! Back by popular demand, our Silent Disco will keep you and the kids dancing throughout the evening – with three channels of great music to choose from, we’re sure to have some great tunes for you to get your groove on!

Check out just a few of the shows that you can see at Pudsey’s Spot over the weekend of CarFest South, but be sure to keep an eye out for more updates coming soon!

WORLD’S BIGGEST BOUNCY CASTLE

Everyone loves a bouncy castle! That’s a fact. Smashing an almost 20-year-old record and measuring a frankly epic 23.8 metres long and 20.7 metres wide, the World’s Biggest Bouncy Castle stands 12.8 metres tall at its highest point; the side turrets are equal in height to the walls of Cardiff Castle, making it taller than the Great Wall of China and roughly three times the size or the Berlin Wall! Filled with 1143 cubic metres of air it can comfortably accommodate 100 pleasure-seeking festival goers at one time.

Quite simply massive, it’s an inflatable legend in the making, don’t miss the chance to have a jump around on the bouncy castle at CarFest this summer!

THE FLYING SEAGULL CIRCUS

The Flying Seagull Project works with children in the UK, Europe and the Middle East. Together they’ve spread love, light and laughter to more than 275,442 children in hospitals, orphanages, deaf/blind schools, refugee camps and slums around the world.

Returning to CarFest, after a few years away, The Flying Seagulls’ infectious mix of showmanship and family fun will have everyone entertained, amused and inspired throughout the day!

A warning to the crowds: this is no spectator sport! Everyone - and we mean everyone - gets involved throughout the weekend! With high-energy music jams, outrageous circus sessions, and the knee-trembling highwire challenge, it’s a rollercoaster of total “round-the-bend-ness”.

ARTCLUB

After so much fun, the kids need a chance to calm down and relax. Our ArtClub is a quiet space for kids to have some down time, get creative and make souvenirs and gifts to take home as their very own special memory of CarFest!

Fun family activities to take home including:

• Tie dye
• Rubber Stamp making
• Playdoh modelling
• Super Hero Modelling
• Chain of Positivity
• Kids Craft Workshops
• And more!

YOUNG DRIVER

We’re delighted to welcome back Young Driver to CarFest as our under 17s driving partner. Their team of specially trained driving instructors will be providing taster lessons for 10 to 17s throughout the entire weekend.

The 15-minute taster lessons can be booked on the day for just £15, with a share of the profits being donated to our charity partners – advance bookings are now full, But more spaces will be available on the day!

THE CARFEST FUNFAIR

No festival would be complete without a good old-fashioned funfair… it’s great for the kids, but also a chance for you to get back in the bumper cars, the waltzers, try your hand at the coconut shies and slide down our traditional helter-skelter!

GET YOUR GROOVE ON… Shhh… IT’S OUR SILENT DISCO!

As Pudsey and his friends turn in for the evening, our big top transforms into a fabulous silent disco! Back by popular demand, our Silent Disco will keep you and the kids dancing throughout the evening – with three channels of great music to choose from, we’re sure to have some great tunes for you to get your groove on!
