THE UK’s largest children’s festival will move from its regular spot at Tatton Park to Arley Hall for May 2017 to provide camping for guests.

Tickets for the three-day Geronimo Fest are on sale from Thursday, September 29, including camping and glamping passes due to popular demand.

There will be ‘glamorous’ yurts, pre-erected tents and spaces for people to build their own.

Lord Ashbrook, whose family built and then lived in Arley Hall for generations, said: "Arley Hall is delighted to welcome Geronimo families to our magnificent estate, Lord and Lady Ashbrook's grandchildren are extremely excited to host a giant phizz-whizzing sleepover under the stars."

Activities on offer include graffiti workshops, high ropes courses, den building, baby ballet, trapeze school, archery and fencing, as well as BMX, jousting and motorbike displays in the arena.

The traditional fun fair, face painting, donkey rides and a petting farm are expected to be amongst the favourites, as well as story-telling time.

Simon Goldman, festival director, said: "We are thrilled to be launching our ticket sales for next year's event at our brand new home, Arley Hall. It's a beautiful estate and as we are offering camping and glamping facilities next year, we are sure that even more families will have a fantastic time with us over the Bank Holiday weekend.

"We loved being at Tatton Park and working with the team from Cheshire East council but we needed more space to allow us to provide the camping that our festival goers from previous years have asked for."

A father of seven, Simon set up Geronimo three years ago when he became frustrated at not being able to find a day out that suited toddlers to tweenagers.

He said: "There are some amazing festivals in the UK but they tend to be music led, with some activities for the children as an addition. We come at this from the polar opposite - we are all about providing world class fun for the children, with great music as a backdrop to all the activities we have on offer."
