Highest Point has announced that the PJ Masks and YolanDa’s Band Jam are to join the lineup for The Big Family Day Out this Sunday, at Williamson Park in Lancaster.

The Big Family Day out is back for its third year at the festival next weekend, with a huge number of free festival style events and activities designed for kids of all games all included within the ticket price. The event this year is sponsored by Booths, and will take place on the final day of Highest Point festival on Sunday 5th September. 

Once inside the event, guests can meet the PJ Masks as they’ll be making appearances at intervals throughout the day, see live performances from Yolanda’s Band Jam, The Cuban Brothers and Donny Disco, a grand parade, Tipi Den Building, Samba Drumming Workshops, Ibiza Beats Yoga, Arts and Craft Workshops, Mad Science, Magic and Theatre Shows, DJ workshops, storytelling, bubble displays and face painting.

Families attending the event can meet the PJ Masks at The Big Family Day Out, where the kids favourite TV superheroes will be making appearances at intervals across the day, 

YolanDa's Band Jam - as seen on Cbeebies – will perform on the main stage, getting the party started with her upbeat music and singalong favourites. The Cuban Brothers will blow the roof off, with their jaw dropping B-Boy action, riotous comedy and disco moves. If that wasn’t enough Donny Disco will keep everyone dancing and throwing shapes with one of his legendary DJ sets!

The whole family can throw some shapes at the BabyFunk Disco, hosted by Funkademia in The Dell, the festival’s woodland stage, with all sorts of wonderful surprises down there to keep the young and old entertained. 

Join the Grand Parade of the Weird & Wonderful lead by Fat Cat Brass Band on stilts for a walk around the park, think bubbles, confetti and dancing!
