CBBC Summer Social is the BBC’s biggest ever kids’ event and is the only festival to give children and their families a jam packed line up of CBBC favourites alongside a raft of international music acts including HRVY, Union J, Johnny Orlando, Matt Terry and Mackenzie Ziegler.
Taking place at Croxteth Hall in Liverpool over three days from 3- 5 August 2018, CBBC Summer Social is the biggest live event ever undertaken by CBBC. As well as fabulous musical stars, the unique line up will showcase the very best CBBC talent and the most popular shows on the channel including The Next Step, The Worst Witch, Deadly 60, Saturday Mash-Up!, Got What It Takes and the Pets Factor. There will also be appearances from CBBC royalty including Hacker T Dog, Sam and Mark, Naomi Wilkinson, Ben Shires and many more.
For younger fans, CBeebies favourites Mr Tumble and Mr Bloom, will be on site along with a CBeebies Village packed with enticing activities and performances. Swashbuckle’s Cook and Line will be causing mayhem, there will be a chance to go wild with Andy Day, learn about pets with Ferne and Rory from Vet’s Tales, have a boogie at the groovy Go Jetters disco and even listen to a Bedtime Story or two.
CBBC’s Sam and Mark will host the main stage with non-stop fun for all the family. This stage will be at the centre of all the action with specially curated performances from world-class orchestras, West End musicals and international young music sensations Johnny Orlando and MacKenzie Ziegler performing their first UK gig this year.
Each day will have music acts such as HRVY, Union J, Bars and Melody, and Matt Terry performing on the main stage and the key action will be broadcast live on CBBC. Keep an eye out for further announcements as we get closer to the event.
Running alongside the main stage will be a spectacular range of outdoor and indoor activities including a BBC Music Introducing and LIMF live performance stage with music curated from across Merseyside.
All around Croxteth Country Park visitors can discover immersive activity zones, theatre shows, interactive and inspiring art workshops and live appearances from the most popular children’s authors. Join in the cool outdoor and sporting activities hosted by Liverpool Football Club’s official charity – LFC Foundation and Everton in the Community with Everton Football Club, and enjoy top class musical experiences with Opera North and Royal Albert Hall.
And if that’s not enough they’ll also be junior discos, slime experimenting, themed treasure hunts, gaming areas, character walk-abouts, vlogger meet and greets and much much more. The Petting Farm, Victorian Walled Garden and the Grade ll listed Croxteth Hall will form an historic backdrop to the very best of CBBC programming.
The event is being organised in partnership with Culture Liverpool, Liverpool City Council, and forms part of #Liverpool2018 – a year of projects marking a decade since Liverpool was European Capital of Culture.
