Family Festival at Stoller Hall

23 May 2026 — 24 May 2026

Join us this May for our first ever Family Festival – a two day celebration of music and arts for families of all ages! Held right across our Stoller Hall building, you’ll be able to enjoy live music and storytelling, plus arts and crafts and much more.

We have ticketed events right through the weekend, including Stoller Story Sounds, a musical storytelling session with our newest adventuring character Robot (for ages 3-5), Music in the Round’s brand new storytelling concert The Storm Whale  and Sounds Together, a special multi-sensory musical journey.
