It's not just for adults - that's why Huddersfield Food and Drink Festival 2017 has plenty to keep the children entertained.

There will be stuff for the kids on all four days of the festival including arts and crafts, roaming Disney characters, a magician and more.

Fairandfunky, from Holmfirth, plus Sand Art, of Brighouse, will be leading craft sessions from Thursday to Saturday.

And there will be more craft sessions from Sand Art and Crafty Kids, of Denby Dale, on the Sunday.

These events will be at the Kids Zone marquee, sponsored by Stafflex recruitment, on Railway Street.

There will also be dancing and some theatre from students at Kirklees College in the 'artisan' area.

And throughout the festival Kirklees College students will be donning costumes from the Disney hits Frozen and Beauty and the Beast to welcome children to the festival.

Also roaming the festival site will be magician George Cooper aka 'Illusio'.
