COWfest 2018 – Play for a Pound
COWfest 2018 will be a bit different... we are taking a break from the full festival, to make it even better next year and sustainable long-term. This year, COWfest is bringing you 5 chances to "play for a pound". That's right! You can try a new sporting activity for just £1. There will be 5 hour-long sessions running on Saturday 10th February 2018, at Kings' School sports centre: netball, basketball, multi-sports, handball and dodgeball.
You can book in advance or just turn up on the day (first come, first served). If you want to book tickets online, you can do so via these links:
9.30am Netball ages 8-11
11am Basketball ages 5-11
12.15pm Inclusive multi-sports ages 5-16
1.30pm Handball ages 5-11
2.45pm Dodgeball ages 5-11
So don't miss out! Come and play for a pound – you can even stay all day if you like, but don't forget to buy all 5 tickets!
One week to go!
There's just a week to go until COWfest 2017, so book soon if you would like to be involved!
The Big Top Tots workshop has now sold out, we have just one place left on the ages 5+ Circus Skills workshop, and other workshops are filling up quickly...
Even if you don't have workshop tickets, though, you can still pop down to the Tower at Kings' School on Saturday 18th February or the morning of Sunday 19th February to sample the atmosphere, take a look at the COWfest art gallery, and have a coffee...
See you at COWfest 2017!
