• CREATE COSTUMES AND TAKE PART IN A PARADE - The Angel Gardens will be a place full of crafts and fun where people can get involved in making costumes, lanterns and more in preparation for a special Saturday evening parade and other festivities.
A circus team will also be there to join in the fun and play games, and in the evenings in the theatre tent there will be bedtime stories, a kids only disco, and dance and singing classes.
• MAKE YOUR OWN WOODLAND CREATURE - Youngsters are invited to explore the Brilliant Builds wildlife sanctuary. They can make their own woodland animal out of junk cardboard to join the growing collection of characters among the trees that aim to show how much fun recycling can be.
• FORM YOUR OWN BAND - Would-be young musicians aged 10 and over have the chance to pick up some instruments and form their own band with help from Access To Music tutors - the next stop could be Latitude's Obelisk Stage!
• CREATE A MASTERPIECE - Families can join artist Samantha Barnes in making unique family portraits with a difference that they can keep forever. No art skills necessary.
• ENJOY SOME ROALD DAHL-INSPIRED EVENTS - Suffolk Libraries will be setting up camp in two medieval tents and keeping bookworms busy all weekend. There will be a mix of activities and crafts inspired by Roald Dahl, books to borrow and share, song and rhyme sessions, and more.
• HAVE FUN WITH NATURE - From pond-dipping in the lake to bug hunting in the woods to wildlife-inspired crafts, Suffolk Wildlife Trust will be offering lots of activities to inspire children to enjoy getting closer to nature.
• JOIN THE SCHOOL OF NOISE - From conducting an orchestra of fruit and vegetables to creating experimental electronic music, the School of Noise invites people to explore the world of sound.

Dressing up is encouraged - think bellbottoms and scuba gear, mermaids and cute crustaceans.
