Our carnival parade is undoubtedly a highlight of Cotton Clouds. Presented by local arts group Global Grooves, a parade of performers bring Brazilian drumming and some crazy illuminated characters to our festival. In 2018 we had fire breathing mechanical bats & dragons leading the way!

Kids activities don't have to mean bouncy castles & twisted ankles, we'd much rather have them learning about music! Step in "Boom Ting", a fun and friendly music and singing group for young children. Boom Ting will take you on a musical adventure designed to get everybody joining in, expect plenty of shakers, drums & tambourines! Boom Ting will run a number of sessions throughout the Saturday of Cotton Clouds so if you're bringing the nippers, don't miss it! We'll be posting a full running order for the kids tent later down the line, keep your eyes peeled :).

We have a host of arts & crafts activities and workshops planned for 2019! Full details will be released very soon.
