The weather is set to be sunny on Sunday, so for a fab day out order your tickets online & head on over to The Rec for a fun packed Family Music & Arts Festival SoFest See info & poster below for further details. This is a ticketed event & tickets are only available to purchase online at www.sofest.co.uk I've got my ticket, see you there 😁

The festival is taking place this Sunday 2nd June 2024 on Soham Recreation Ground from 11:30am until 6pm, is headlined by the 90s boyband FIVE. Additional acts on the main stage include X Factor star Andy Abraham, 80’s revival singer Nancy Ann Lee, rock guitarist and singer Ed Cusick, and Sammy Magic and his magic show. The event will also introduce the new local group Viva Vocal Vibes.

SoFest offers families huge value for money, with a range of activities worth over £68 per person. A group of two adults and two children (family ticket is £80) will save nearly £200 compared with having to pay for each activity separately, as everything is included in the entry fee.

As well as the main stage attractions, there will be two family theatre shows, including a ‘puppet petting farm’. Five fairground attractions will be offering unlimited rides, including inflatables, bumper cars and trampolines.

Festival goers will also be invited to take part in craft and creative activities, and crowds will be further entertained by balloon modellers, children’s character entertainers, musicians and face painters. There will also be a selection of quality food and drink vendors on site. SoFest www.sofest.co.uk Viva Arts and Community Group
