To celebrate their 1st Birthday, Square Pegs invites you to party with them at their spiritual home, Constellations, on Sunday 4th September from 11am. As it’s their big day they’ve got a little something extra for mums and dads; we’re talking full bar, street food and global grooves from world-renowned DJs. The kids will be kept entertained with a whole host of creative workshops, from collaging to DJ-ing and body-grooving to storytelling; whatever their creative preference, the Pegs will provide a day to remember.

Fusion Festival

If you’ve exhausted all the museums, galleries, crafty sessions and fairgrounds and all else fails……..get your festival chic on and head to Fusion Festival, making its debut in Liverpool on September 3-4 at Otterspool Promenade. We dont think you’ll find many kids who will moan about having to dance around and sing along to headliners Jason Derulo, Olly Murs, Busted and Tinie Tempah. A perfect way to end a summer of fun.
