KidsFest Thatcham is a FREE event organised by Thatcham Town Council, aimed at bringing families and the community together for a day of entertainment, activities, and fun. Taking place in the town centre on Thursday 29th of August from 10am to 3pm we hope to provide Thatcham’s residents with a day packed full of fun before heading back to school.
St Mary’s church will open its doors to the wonderful team from The Watermill Theatre who will be running several free drama workshops and theatre craft sessions. Keep an eye on Thatcham Town Council’s Facebook page for how to sign up for these exciting sessions, hurry as spaces will be limited!
Turnfields Recreation Ground will host the Howden Under 5s Zone with a menagerie of inflatables for under 5s, and with an ice cream van and Juggling Jake who will be running circus workshops and showing off his incredible skills, it’s the perfect place to kick off your family fun day out.
The Broadway will be home to a variety of arts and crafts activities, from t-shirt printing with Berkshire Print Makers, to a doodle zone with Magpie and the Mob. There will be a live theatre performance from Four Eyed Theatre, who will take to the stage with their short interactive play about mental health. Be sure to grab something to eat from one of Thatcham’s fabulous food outlets, then take a seat in our picnic area, relax, and enjoy some live music!
The High Street will be a hub of activity with gift and community stalls, Face painting, Games and of course an Ice Cream Van.
