Brizzle Kicks stage announced

Are set to entertain families at Bristol International Balloon Fiesta

Children’s party and entertainment experts, Party Peeps, will be creating fun and memorable experiences at this year’s Bristol International Balloon Fiesta as they host the brand new Brizzle Kicks Stage with Pip and Posy. The family-friendly stage is jam packed with free entertainment throughout the week and will feature a variety of acts from magic shows to street dance, live DJs and singers. The Brizzle Kicks Stage will be open from 12pm until 6pm on Thursday and Friday, and 11am until 6pm on Saturday and Sunday. Children are invited to come and say hello to TV stars Pip and Posy, from Magic Light Pictures’ hugely popular and award-winning animated pre-school series on Milkshake! and Sky Kids. Pip and Posy are the best of friends whose lives revolve around a wonderful world of play. Packed with warmth and humour, the series is full of laughter and games, and the challenges that friendship’s journey brings. They will be bringing their special brand of play to the Brizzle Kicks area throughout the event with exciting goodies and entertaining activities for children to have some fun!

The Brizzle Kicks Stage will kick off each day with Mini Peeps, a fun-filled party for toddlers, Fiesta-families can get stuck in with some sing-along-songs, dancing and play along to games in the lively wake-andshake session.

The area will close each day with a high energy family fun rave complete with foam machines and a live DJ. This foam-tastic funky-time will guarantee families to have their hands in the air with their big tunes, dance-filled beats and all the bubbles you could imagine.

Other activities that will keep your little ones entertained is a comedy magic show with Chris P Tee and his puppet Cheeky Chops and the Superhero Academy where your child will transform into a hero as they join in with interactive superhero training led by a real life hero. Also on the bill are Street Cred who have been wowing the crowds with their dance moves since 2013. On Saturday and Sunday, Fiesta-goers can expect a popping performance choreographed and directed by Faith Newport.

Jay Dormer, Party Peeps founder, said: “We cannot contain our excitement as we enter the final few days before the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta. We’ve got a family-tastic line-up of entertainment and activities which are guaranteed to bring nothing but joy to the Brizzle Kicks stage. There’s so much on the ground activity going on and so many things to experience at the Fiesta so make sure you head on down to Ashton Court this weekend.” Thursday will see Sofie May take us through years or sing-along classics including your favourite Disney hits and animation soundtracks. Continuing with the theme is the Royal Sisters; a professional princess performance the whole family will want to sing along with on the Friday. We The Curious will also be on hand with their family activity, Let’s Build. They will be seeing who can create the tallest tower, the strongest structure, or the weirdest shape? Using coloured straws and creative art materials, build amazing structures inspired by the shapes you see around you. As the session progresses, the bigger the structures become. By the end it’s like a mini city has popped up in the workshop! Hundreds of thousands of visitors gather at Ashton Court for the four days of the Fiesta and for those planning on driving to the event, car parking will only be available in advance.
