Free family fun lined up at Stratford's Waterside Summer Festival

FOOD, shopping and entertainment are promised at Stratford’s Waterside Summer Festival.

Families are invited to enjoy three free days of fun from Tuesday July 21 to Thursday July 23.

There will be more than 90 artisan traders, food vendors and independent businesses lining Waterside, alongside a programme of free family entertainment inspired by the spirit of the Commonwealth Games.

Families can test their skills on an inflatable penalty shootout, take on cycling and rowing challenges with Stratford Leisure Centre, enjoy gymnastics and dance performances from JNB Dance & Gymnastics Academy, and join in with a range of fun “Have a Go” activities including badminton, swingball and bowling.




For youngsters there will be face painting, the chance to meet daily entertainers Captain Cheer and Celebration Athlete, take part in mini sporting challenges, hunt for hidden medals around the market, and enter a special drawing competition with prizes up for grabs.

Independent traders will be offering everything from handcrafted jewellery, fused glass art and handmade homeware to artisan skincare, fashion accessories and sustainable gifts.


Food lovers will be spoilt for choice with a selection of street food from around the world.

Siobhan Noake, Head of Brand for LSD Promotions said: “We’re delighted to be bringing the Waterside Summer Festival to Stratford for three fantastic days this summer. We’ve created an event that celebrates community, encourages families to get active and provides plenty of opportunities to shop local and support independent businesses. Best of all, it’s completely free to attend, making it the perfect day out during the school holidays.”
