This infamous Our Kids Social event is back. Happy Sundaze brings the summer to a close at Gorton Monastery. Head to this iconic building for an afternoon of festival delights for all ages – DJs, arts, music, storytelling, baby sensory, crafts, forest school activities and face-painting. Not only that Bricklands will be taking tons of Lego and Duplo for young and old alike to get stuck in to.

Family musician David Gibb and his brilliant music will bring the sound track to Happy Sundaze. It’s all designed to bring families together, focusing on fun, music and creativity. What a way to see out the summer in style!
