Description:

Fall in love with Basingstoke this summer – it’s the borough with the green heart.

You’ll love the line-up for Basingstoke Festival 2016 – there’s something for all ages, so bring the family too.

The fun starts with a parade from one park and ends with Basingstoke Live, two days of live music, in another – showcasing just how green the town is at heart! This year’s much loved carnival parade through the centre of Basingstoke features sun bird puppets, hilarious walkabouts puddle ducks, giant kangaroos and a beautiful polar bear.

For family activities there’s a circus spectacular, specially crafted children’s drama with unique and beautiful aerial acrobatic artists.
