We Are Family!
Shambala is a very family-friendly festival, with a wild side. We do everything we can to make the festival great for the whole family, whilst maintaining the music, magic and mayhem!
Making It Easier for Families
We know how tiring a festival can be for families with little ones. To make life easier we provide:
- A dedicated and flat Family Camping Field near to the car park with compost loos, hot showers and wash basins
- Dedicated Family Camper Van Field near to Family Camping
- Kid-sized loos!
- Woodland adventure area for kids with free-play, nets and nature workshops
- Focus on ‘free-play’ activities in our Playtopia Kids Field
- Wheelbarrows for loan to help get your kit from the car park
- The Family Yurt – a dedicated space for families with children, the hub of family camping, with veteran festival families on hand all day to offer information, advice and warm hugs. Wake up singing every morning and go to bed with cocoa, fire and stories every evening.
Stuff for Kids
We are proud to have one of the most vibrant Kids’ Fields on the festival circuit. It’s absolutely jam packed all day with activities and entertainment. Make monsters, build badges, design costumes, get messy, draw dragons and so much more in the many art tents. Try hula hooping, learn circus skills, get bouncy on the trampolines or even join our “Chesstival”.
There is also free face painting, a puppet tent, music making, toddler play and workshops, games, walkabout acts and much, much more!
We spoil your kids and make the rest of the festival kid friendly too. There are sandpits, climbing areas, workshops in the Craft Field and Enchanted Woods and, as always, surprises at every turn.
You can also get involved with the epic Shambala Carnival, crazy golf, Bump Rollerdisco and fairground rides. And don’t forget the popular bedtime stories with cocoa in the Family Camping Yurt.
Bringing Babies or Toddlers?
We have a Camp Site Shop selling everything you could possibly need for a weekend in a field, and The ‘Young Families’ Campsite is stewarded to maintain buggy size gaps between tents so you can actually get home.
