This year sees special emphasis on a Children's Festival.
Youngsters will get the chance to join in a Play in a Day, music, art and poetry. There will be a Comedy Club 4 Kids, storytelling, streetdance, puppets, and a swashbuckling adventure.
Charles Pugh, festival artistic director, said he had made a conscious decision to put children's events at the heart of the festival.
'Families can really make the most of them as most are free and take place in the mornings,' he said. 'There are shows suitable for the whole family and workshops aimed at young participants.'
