Join us on Saturday 6th September 2025 in West Howe and Sunday 7th September 2025 in Bourne for the 2025 editions of our Bite Sized Festivals for more FREE to attend family-friendly activities, performances and workshops.

Families heading to the Bitesized Festivals this year can look forward to a day packed with creativity. From 11am onwards, children can enjoy free face painting, join in workshops ranging from mask making with our Artist in Residence Gabrielle and willow weaving with our Associate Artist Bobby, to circus skills with Steamship Circus and sensory play with Squidge and Pop. Brave Bold Drama will bring interactive theatre sessions throughout the day, alongside a lively installation with Noisey Noise Noise. At lunchtime, everyone is invited to a free vegetarian meal accompanied by live music from the Pudenski Brothers. The afternoon features a family cabaret from Steamship Circus, aerial workshops and open mic hip hop sessions with OPB Studios. With hands-on arts, music, theatre and plenty of fun, the festival promises an imaginative and welcoming taste of Arts by the Sea.
