About Us
bOing! is Kent’s biggest family arts festival running every August Bank Holiday weekend.
The Festival is a packed weekend of innovative and exciting performers, live music, crafty and techie workshops, plus food, drink and plenty of space to sit out in the sunshine.
Thanks to funding from Arts Council England, bOing! remains free to enter, with loads of free activities, plus a maximum ticket price of £7.50 (inc booking fee) for indoor theatre performances.
bOing! is a Relaxed Festival, meaning that everyone should feel able to join in and be welcome. The festival offers specialist shows and sessions for neurodiverse audiences, a relaxed cinema screening (lights up and sound levels down) and all bOing! spaces are wheelchair accessible.
bOing! is run by Gulbenkian Arts Centre at the beautiful University of Kent campus in Canterbury. The Festival is free to enter and gives thousands of families from across Kent the chance to experience brilliant theatre, music and dance performance.
