Go on a family quest this Easter holiday

Friday, April 2 to Sunday, April 18 Quest Family Fest

Norden Farm

Norden Farm Centre for the Arts’ annual Quest Family Fest returns this Easter holiday, with a virtual makeover while the venue’s doors are temporarily closed.

The line up includes livestreamed events, on demand activities and live creative workshops via Zoom.

Using just a bedsheet, a phone or computer, pencils and a piece of paper, Mountain Goat Mountain immerses families in a 45 minute interactive audio adventure. Explore the forest and rivers of Mountain Goat Mountain and the depths of a mysterious cave – all from the comfort of your living room!

Live streamed directly from the Norden Farm main stage to your screen, watch children’s show Oldilocks and the Three Bears on Saturday 3 April at 11.30am and 2pm. Suitable for ages three-plus years, the show is a wonderfully funny and warmhearted celebration of the classic story. Expect to be spellbound by lovingly crafted puppets, music and some steaming bowls of porridge.

Live and interactive Zoom workshops continue across the holiday with activities including Zen Drawing for Kids; yoga movement and stories combine with Mindful Storytelling; and the magical fun continues at Magic & Storytelling with Patrick Ashe.

Activities available on demand at a time that suits you include Kayleigh’s Crafts: Under the Sea Slime. Your ticket includes your craft pack which features everything you need to take part. Simply tune in to the video on YouTube, where Kayleigh Galvin will guide you through creating a special batch of Under the Sea slime.

Quest Family Fest wouldn’t be complete without the opportunity to create your own sweet treats. Book a Chocolate Lollipop Making Kit, collect from the takeaway team and follow the instructions to make your chocolate masterpiece. The packs have been specially created by Rosie’s Chocolate Factory and contain everything you need to make four lollipops and with a generous stash of pick and mix to decorate.
