Children’s Activities – All Day Activity Tent

Children’s tent positioned by the Food Demo Tent, so you can enjoy some fascinating talks while your children learn about food and embrace their creative side!  Join us at the kids tent where we’ll be playing with veggies and learning about bees.  Kids will be able to create their own colourful flags for the garden and make their own bee-themed kites to take home.
