Extensive Kids Activities: Wherever adults dance, children play: there will be a dinosaur caravan, teddy tent, library nook, LEGO lab, craft workshops, circus school and teen chill‑out space. Under‑6s attend free, and dedicated will staff ensure safe, age‑appropriate fun beside every stage.

A Wellbeing & Healing area: In a secluded natural setting, discover yoga, meditation, sound healing, reiki, massage and mindful workshops—designed to restore body and mind amid festival buzz.

Numerous Creative Workshops: From belly dancing and willow weaving to sewing on hand‑cranked machines, clay modelling and circus skills, day‑time sessions invite guests to explore new crafts and performance arts.

Accessibility & Inclusivity

Built by disabled organisers for disabled visitors, Tarantarti Party prioritises wheelchair access, quiet zones, sensory‑friendly areas and accessible camping. Our Disco Cabaret marquee provides a safe, welcoming space for LGBTQIA+ communities and allies.

Tarantism

Forged in the free party scene of 90s North Wales, Tarantism emerged where dub sound systems met folk-punk and techno in haunted mansions, hilltop quarries and fields alive with bass. From Glastonbury stages to DIY dancefloors, their genre-blending sound helped define a generation of underground festivals, a wild, joyful fusion that demanded you move.

Over three decades, the lineup evolved into a tight-knit family, pushing their songwriting and recordings ever further. They’ve never chased trends or cash, just emotion, energy, and evolution.
