Kids at Crick have the opportunity to get involved with so many activities you'll find it hard to get round everything in a day!
Balloon Model making
The wonderful Stevie Spud will be on hand making balloon models for you to take away – come and learn how to make all types of creatures! (10am to 4pm)
Bert & Betty Books Storytime
Bert & Betty Books Storytime will be reading twice daily from their books about the working boat people in the 19th century canals. Something for both the older and younger children, or even adults if you have a wide enough imagination! In the Kids@Crick marquee at 11am and 4pm

Once again, we welcome back the London Narrowboat Company who do a great job of transforming the children of Crick! Look out for little lions, monsters, butterflies and scary and bizarre faces running around Crick.
The Great Gappo Circus Skills Workshop
So much to learn, so little time! All the jaw-dropping tricks and skills of a circus pro can be yours to master with this expert teacher. Why not try your hand at juggling, diabolo, plate spinning, poi, flower sticks and balancing. Age is no restriction, all are welcome to join in. (11am to 4pm)
Victorian Funfair
Enjoy beautiful and traditional fairground rides including the hoopla, the carousel, the big wheel and a coconut shy, fun for all the family!
The Waterway Display
The Waterway Display is as bright and interactive as it is educational. Teaching the children about looking after their environment and the waterways, this amazing demonstration will incorporate puppets, 'Eco Elves', quizzes, stamps and more! The display is brought to the show by Anne Harris and her dedicated group of volunteers on behalf of the The Anne Harris Children’s Fund, a charity dedicated to improve the education and life of children around the world.
