Matt Addicott, artistic director for Platform, which is organising both festivals, said: “Both festivals will have performances, dancing, rides for children, art activities for everyone and loads of community groups and organisations will be hosting stalls too.
"We'll also have face painting, balloon modelling, sports activities and food and drinks to get stuck into – fun for all the family.”
