THIS IS THE 2008 WEBSITE: THE WEBSITE FOR 2009 WILL BE LAUNCHED IN FEBRUARY 2009 |
Parents Like Us (PLU) is the UK's biggest festival for parents with children aged 0-5 years and is organised by ordinary parents, all of whom give their time voluntarily. Ours is a place where you can relax with your children knowing that they are in a safe and secure environment and surrounded by only good things, most of which are free or ridiculously low-priced. Entrance to the fenced-off arena is free too, so there's absolutely no excuse for not coming along for a meander with offspring on tow. Grab yourself a coffee, make yourself comfortable in our covered seating area and lose yourself in the live music whilst you browse the free programme and consider how many of the dozens of activities on offer you might fit in to the short time you've allowed. For those of us with young children there's no other festival or family day like it. And that's a fact. |
If you were one of the 19,000 festival visitors in 2008, THANK YOU!
Next year is a special 5th anniversary celebration - don't miss it! Contact us to be mailed a brochure as soon as it becomes available in April. |
