“Our aim with the Kingdom Festival was to create an unmissable event that caters to kids and families from all walks of life. This includes a guest appearance from crowd-favourite, Micky  Trickstar, and face painting and balloon artists, Bibi and Cheeky Button,” Steve said.  

“Along with some fantastic performances, kids will have a chance to ride a pony and stock up  on their favourite showbags.”
