The Octagon’s Family Festival is back with a Jungle Book theme! And for 2024 we’re bigger and better than ever.

We’ve got storytelling, live theatre performances, our famous family disco, bubbles, arts and crafts and lots more! Get down to the funky beats at our Jungle Book disco and Ellie the Octagon Elephant makes a welcome return – there's something for everyone.

This year we’re not just inside the Octagon but we’re running activity throughout the town centre too. Look out for Octagon puppets and performances entertaining audiences throughout the weekend across the whole of the Bolton Food and Drink festival.
