We Are Family Festival returns to Borde Hill Parkland in West Sussex on Sunday, 16th August 2026, with free fairground rides, interactive attractions, bottomless soft drinks and hourly themed parades. Tickets are up to £45.
It’s a single-day event that packs in plenty for families, and the free fairground rides are a major draw. Bottomless soft drinks mean you won’t be shelling out for endless juice cartons, which any parent knows adds up fast.
What to Expect
The festival centres around interactive attractions and those hourly themed parades, which give the day a bit of structure if you’ve got younger children who need regular entertainment. Free fairground rides are always popular, though expect queues during peak times.
Borde Hill Parkland offers plenty of outdoor space, so even when it’s busy there’s room to spread out. The bottomless soft drinks are included, which is a nice touch and takes the pressure off packing endless bottles.
Who It Suits
This works well for families with primary-age children who’ll enjoy the rides and parades. Toddlers might find the fairground rides hit-and-miss depending on height restrictions, but the open parkland gives them space to run about.
