Free Kid’s Fest @ STACK returns to Sunderland on 27 August
Families planning a summer-holiday outing in Sunderland can head to Kid’s Fest @ STACK at STACK Seaburn on 27 August 2026. The family festival starts at 12:00, entry is free and booking is required, according to the Sunderland BID event listing.
The event is aimed at families and includes activities for all ages. This will be the festival’s third year at the Seaburn venue.
Kid’s Fest date, time and entry details
- Date: 27 August 2026
- Start time: 12:00
- Venue: STACK Seaburn, Seaburn, Sunderland
- Entry: Free
- Booking: Required
- Audience: Families and children of all ages
Although there is no admission charge, visitors still need to secure a booking. The listing carries a “Book Now” instruction but does not state a booking deadline, so families intending to attend should avoid treating the event as an unbooked drop-in session.
Flags, bubbles and games shape the programme
Kid’s Fest is presented as a lively family festival rather than a seated performance. The confirmed programme features flags, bubbles, music, dancing, sing-alongs and games, giving children and accompanying adults several ways to join in.
Sunderland BID describes the music as “good tunes” and promises non-stop dancing alongside group singing and games. No performers, individual activity times or running order are identified in the supplied listing, so the programme should be read as an outline of the day’s entertainment rather than a fixed timetable.
The mix also suggests that participation is central to the format. Dancing, sing-alongs and games invite families to become part of the activity, while the flags and bubbles provide a colourful festival setting around the entertainment.
The family festival returns for a third year
The 2026 edition marks Kid’s Fest’s third year at STACK. The organiser listed two summer dates, 6 August and 27 August, with this preview covering the later event at STACK Seaburn.
That return gives families another opportunity to attend during the summer holidays. The activities advertised for 27 August remain broad enough to cover different ages, although the listing does not divide the programme into age groups or describe separate sessions.
Check the booking details before travelling
Only the 12:00 start has been confirmed; the event listing does not provide a finishing time. It also supplies no transport guidance, accessibility details or information about food and stalls. Families who need any of those details should consult the organiser’s booking information instead of assuming what will be available at the venue.
The confirmed next step is to book before attending the free event at STACK Seaburn on 27 August and plan around the stated 12:00 start without relying on an assumed finishing time.
