¿A qué grupo de edad está dirigido Camp Severn?
This year we’ve refreshed the ethos of Camp Severn – Kids Festival to make it more inclusive for all age groups and all families. While the festival is primarily designed for children aged 3 and upwards, our aim is to create a fun-filled family Bank Holiday weekend that everyone can enjoy together.
In reviewing our old “all-inclusive” format, we realised it didn’t always work well for families. Essentially, each family ended up paying for everything, whether or not their children wanted to take part in every activity. To continue with that model, ticket prices would have had to triple, making the festival unaffordable for many visitors.
By introducing some activities as paid extras, we can keep ticket prices accessible while still offering families the freedom to choose what works best for them, this also opens the event up to older children.
¿Qué incluye mi entrada al festival?
Your festival ticket gives you entry to Camp Severn – Kids Festival and access to a wide range of entertainment, shows, and activities across the weekend that are free to enjoy. These include live music, stage shows, family entertainment, walkabout acts, and plenty of activities designed to keep the whole family smiling.
In previous years, Camp Severn was run as an all-inclusive event where every activity was included in the ticket price. However, we found that this model didn’t always work well for families, as everyone ended up paying for everything — even if their children didn’t want to take part in certain activities. To keep that format, ticket prices would have had to triple, which would have put the festival out of reach for many of our visitors.
To keep tickets affordable and fair, we’ve introduced a balance: your ticket still covers lots of free entertainment, but some activities are now available as optional paid extras. This way, families only pay for the activities their children actually want to do, keeping the festival accessible for everyone.
For example, our Inflatable Zone is now sponsored by AJS Bouncy Castles, and together we’ve created a wristband system so children can enjoy the inflatables as much as they like, but only if they want to.
When booked online, wristbands cost just £12.50 per day or £20.00 for the whole weekend. Normally, bouncy castles are charged at around £5 per go, so by teaming up with AJS we’re able to offer this at fantastic value. These can also be added on after your booking and / or added to a payment plan.
This approach gives families real choice. For instance, your child might only want to watch our Taylor Swift tribute act and have no interest in inflatables, and that’s absolutely fine! By making certain activities optional, you can shape the ticket cost around what your child actually wants to do.
