Roll up, roll up as we present this year's All the World's Our Playground Festival programmed by young people in Shepton Mallet. 

​

Programmed by Shepton Mallet's Arts Ambassadors All the World's Our Playground Festival promises a free magical family theatre festival right in the heart of Shepton Mallet!

From jungle book wonders to time travel, from Eurovision displays to flamenco from aerial circus to walkabout wonders - a festival not to be missed.
