What is Fantastic for Families?
Fantastic for Families has been developed by the Family Arts Campaign to help families to discover affordable and quality arts activities from trusted organisers in their local area. It will showcase new work that has been created especially for families and feature information that is relevant to family groups to experience arts and culture together.
Fantastic for Families began in 2013 as the national Family Arts Festival before becoming a year-round event listings service for families, launched in 2017. We've worked with over 3,000 arts organisations, hosting 2,000 events and reaching 2.2 million family members.
