The weather is finally getting better and the mood is definitely changing. With that in mind, we are soon hitting the summer and the festival season is upon us! It is always nice to be able to take your kids to a family-friendly festival and for a London based family like us, finding a festival that is based in London is even better! This is the case with Monstrous, a new children’s festival coming to Printworks, London.
Monstrous is a new family festival set to debut this summer with an incredible line-up designed to delight the whole family. It will be running this summer on Sunday 29th July.

Sounds good
Sounds amazing with so many different activities.
This place sounds amazing! Monstrous would be a great place yo take my family! I love the idea of the Beast myself! The girls would love the Arcade Alley too… Wouldn’t get them out of there!
Looks like a really fun day out for all
Looks great fun, especially for younger kids. We took ours to SportFest a couple of years ago which was brilliant – they had two days of trying out so many new & different sports and they loved the live music at night.
Oh, wow, this sounds amazing – especially that inflatable obstacle course! I can’t believe something like that even exists! 😀 #KCACOLS
I know! Looks great! 🙂 x
That sounds fun! I was at Kid/Dub yesterday (you might know it from the Edinburgh Festival?) so my pick would be the dance party – we had such a BLAST! #KCACOLS
That sounds definitely fun! 🙂 x
This looks amazing! #KCACOLS
This sounds great – and suitable for all age ranges! #kcacols
We’ve never been to a family festival before and wow, that inflatable looks amazing! Thanks for hosting #kcacols
This place looks amazing, and a great family fun day out. ! My kids would love the Prince, Princess & Unicorn Land.
What a fun day out , this sounds fantastic, my kids would love it.
Oh wow, this sounds like its going to be huge fun
Forget the kids… this looks great fun! 😀 Would be good to see something like this up North too!
Love the sound of the worlds biggest inflatable. My boys would be on that for days!
That looks wonderful for any kids who enjoy a lot of busyness and colour; a great range of activities.
No stars. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER. Paid £130 for my children to stand in the roller skating queue for 3 HOURS (no exaggeration whatsoever) then when they finally had been roller skating they’d shut off all the other queues so they couldn’t go on anything else.
No air con as advertised, it was sweltering!
No fairground rides as advertised. No circus performers as advertised. The inflatable was split into two half’s with staff saying they couldn’t fit it in. Promise of 100+ games consoles…..nope.
Rude staff who just didn’t want to be there (prob too hot to cope!)
Disappointed children crying everywhere. Just terrible.
