Kids festival team brings world of fun

A CHILDREN’S festival is being held in Stockport for the first time to provide families with fun-filled days.

Funtopia, ‘the BIG day out for little kids,’ is delivering entertainment designed for under ten-year-olds with unlimited play.

Inflatables, Sumo Suits, Nerf Wars, Driving School, an Under 5’s Area, Crafty Corner, Role Play Areas, Circus Skills, Fun Workshops and more are featured.

Pick n Mix Events and Funtopia Company Owner, Sarah Green, said: “We’ve been touring with Funtopia since 2016 and I have wanted to bring our fun-filled festival to Stockport for a while.

“We’re so excited to be able to bring the tour to Stockport this year!

“This year Funtopia is even bigger than ever!

“We’ve added new activities and role play areas – such as our Hair Dressing Salon and Kids Construction Zone, as well as additional Inflatables and Workshops.

I want every child to be able to enjoy Funtopia and create those family memories which kids will remember for years to come.

“There’s something for everyone at Funtopia!”

Children with autism can get queue jump passes (with proof of eligibility) and a quiet area, sensory toys and activities suitable for children with autism are available including giant bubble making.
