Hiya Kate. As festival organisers we decided last year to focus on the daytime activity and programmed in 2016 2 full days of family based activity through the core hours up until 5.30/6pm then . It worked well as it encouraged visitors to stay throughout the duration as opposed to having drops in shows late afternoon.
