Family Fun at Knockengorroch
Looking for a kid-friendly festival? Knockengorroch has so much to offer families! Set in the stunning hills of Galloway, our magical mountain riverside valley is the perfect place to spend quality time together, connect with nature, and enjoy an unforgettable weekend of music and adventure. With an incredible line-up across eight venues, there’s plenty to explore for festival-goers of all ages.
We also offer a quiet camping area upriver—ideal for families with little ones who like an early start!
Tigtri Kids’ Tent & Kidding Around
At the heart of the family fun is the Tigtri Kids’ Tent, bursting with games, crafts, and activities throughout the weekend. From 10am–7pm each day, the brilliant Kidding Around team will keep children (ages 0–10 and up!) entertained with their irresistible mix of crowd-pleasing charm and hands-on fun. Expect:
- A giant craft table
- Sensory trays and invitations to play
- Outdoor toys galore
- Circus equipment
- Giant bubbles and hula hoops
- Target-hitting challenges
- And loads more inside and out!
This year’s theme is putting your best face forward and helping each other. Children will create self-portraits of their “best self” for the parade and make handprint pledges to be a helping hand in the world—turning them into beautiful bunting to decorate the marquee. They’ll also be exploring different habitats in the play trays and learning to care for animals in the play vets surgery. And keep an eye out for the Kidding Around crew in their group costume—rumour has it they’ll be transforming into wild animals surviving the wild lands of Knockengorroch!
When it’s time to slow down, head to the story corner for a snuggly moment—our team will be ready to read you a tale or two.
Family-Friendly Prices
Children under 11 go free, and tickets for under 16s are less than half price—so bring the whole family to Knockengorroch Festival and make magical memories together!
