Cheshire's family friendly festivals are the kind that everyone goes home talking about. Not just the children. The kind where the adults are just as swept up in it as the kids, where there is always something happening and the day goes faster than you expected.
Across Cheshire and Warrington the calendar is packed with festivals built with families in mind, from tiny tots events designed around the under-fives to multi-day outdoor gatherings with live music, food, activities and enough to keep all ages entertained from morning until the last act finishes. Throw in agricultural shows that have been a fixture on the county calendar for generations, country fayres, street festivals and foodie events with something for every member of the family, and you start to get a picture of just how good Cheshire is at this.
