Daredevil science presenter Greg Foot and children’s television presenter Anna Williamson will host an imaginative new family festival.

Bounce Festival promises a weekend of summer holiday activities, entertainment and fun for families and children aged up to 12.

Williamson, who is known for her work with Nickelodeon, CITV, This Morning and Daybreak, will host the main stage and five activity zones including everything from science experiments to street dance.

Famed for his extreme science shows full of experiments and explosions, Foot will present two interactive shows, Kaboom and Everest Lab, in his very own daredevil science zone.

Musical performers will play throughout the weekend, including the boys from Da Bluez, a street dance crew from Olivier award-winning Blue Boy Entertainment, Beatboxers the Vocal Orchestra and extreme juggling duo Rosie and Chaz.

Creative children can try their hand at different artistic styles to help create the big bounce collaborative artwork or find out where food comes from in the splat cooking show with food broadcaster Beverley Glock.

Those with any energy left can tackle the no limits army assault course, try weird and wonderful cycles, test out their rugby skills and have a giggle in the comedy club for children.

Bounce Festival at Old Deer Park, in Twickenham Road, Richmond; August 10 and 11; Tickets £18 in advance, £20 on the day, with family passes available. Visit bouncefestival.co.uk.
