LolliBop, takes place in Regent’s Park, London on August 5, 6, and 7, 2011 following a sell out 2 day event in 2010. And now it’s back – bigger and better than ever before.

Billed as the big bash for little people, organisers have secured an impressive line up of diverse attractions and activities, guaranteed to keep kids (big and small) entertained for hours on end.

Straight off the TV and onto the LolliBop live stage is CBeebies favourite Rastamouse and Da Easy Crew, making their London debut at the LolliBop festival. Rastamouse, Scratchy and Zoomer will keep the little ones bopping with ‘Hot Hot Hot’ tracks from their debut album and cool, cool performances of songs from the show including ‘Ice Popp’.

Other big name acts confirmed to perform at the festival, include Dick and Dom, ZingZillas, Peppa Pig, The Bopps and Charlie and Lola. And popular CBeebies presenters Carrie Burnell, Alex Winters and Sid Stone will be joining in all the fun too.

But LolliBop’s not just about watching TV favourites in action!

Madness frontman Suggs promises to get the party into full swing when he plays a one off set on Saturday, which is sure to get dads up and dancing too! Other festival highlights, include Horrible Histories. From Roman Britain to Victoria’s Empire, Britain has heaps of horrible stories to tell. It’s history with the nasty bits left in!

Fans of The Twits, Charlie & the Chocolate Factory and James & the Giant Peach will love The Roald Dahl Museum and Storytelling Centre. The award-winning museum’s fantabulously skilled storytellers captivate audiences with lively and hilarious renditions of Roald Dahl’s books. Lots of audience participation is required, in the form of help with special effects, noises and actions.

Magic and wonderment is very much alive in the Enchanted Forest. From tall tales to fairy dust let their imagination run wild. Amazing stories and readings from nationally acclaimed authors, lifelike gorillas, fairy and wizard school, crazy creatures and much more.

For all budding Einsteins, Science Museum is great fun for all the family to enjoy, with spectacular science and hands-on exhibits. Launch an exploding rocket, fire a vortex of air and learn the secrets behind some of the coolest science experiments.

And if that wasn’t enough, there’s plenty of arts and craft activities, face painting and workshops, including DJ classes and pizza making sessions. Go karting, a football factory (with Tottenham Hotspur), Babyoke, stand up comedy and even a ‘gorilla enclosure’ all add to the LolliBop fun. A wide selection of food and drinks stalls are on hand to provide a welcome rest.

This must be the most exciting children’s festival this year – don’t miss it!
