In 2020, City Arts secured funding from  SSBC's Ideas Fund. The project toured with a doorstep puppet show for families in lockdown. 


'The Search for Teddy Island' was a small-scale show that was performed on the street outside family homes. 

Learning from this experience, this new project will tour all four wards with a mini family festival. 

Starting in July 2022, Nottingham charity City Arts will present four free festival days for under-5s and families. This fun-filled day of entertainment and activity will tour Bulwell, Aspley, Arboretum & Hyson Green and St Ann’s. It will feature puppetry, theatre, creative workshops and more. 

Health and wellbeing support information will be included, such as:
•    breastfeeding information
•    healthy eating 
•    support for new fathers


Local parents will sit on a steering group, helping design a festival that is exclusive to these areas. 


Dates of each of the festival days will be announced at the end of February.
