Snap Dragon Festival returns to Hinckley next week

The three day event for families will run for three days in Argents Mead.

It takes place from Wednesday 4 to Friday 6 August from 11am to 3pm each day and is free to attend with no booking necessary. Each day of the festival features a different theme with Wednesday celebrating National Play Day, Thursday Super Sports Day and Friday Magical Fun Day.

Executive Member for Culture at the Borough Council Councillor Keith Nichols said: “After the disappointment of having to cancel last year’s event along with so many other events last summer, it’s great to see the Snapdragon Children and Families’ Festival back again this year with so much to do for youngsters and their parents.  

"It’s been a challenging year for everyone and particularly children who haven’t been able to go to school, get out and about and play with their friends as often as usual so we hope this event offers everyone some creative opportunities to play and enjoy the fun of the seaside right here in Hinckley town centre.  

"My thanks to the Events Team who have worked hard to make this event happen this year and we’d ask everyone to look after themselves and each other by following the safety guidelines but especially, to have fun with their family and friends.”
