Parents Like Us 13-14 May 2006

Parents Like Us is a 2-day festival for parents with children aged 0-5 years which is organised by a committee of ordinary parents, all of whom give their time voluntarily. Our ethos is to enhance the parent-child relationship through information, interaction, education and play. We provide a broad programme of theatre, music, parent-related information and resources, relaxation therapies, parenting discussions and parent-with-child facilitated activities. Entrance to the event is free, as are many of the non-ticketed activities and much of the side-show entertainment.

That looks really good! Sadly, I have other plans for that weekend, I hope you get lots of people and then you can repeat the event next year!

We took our kids to this last May - it was right outside our house on Leith Links. Didn't know about it until a friend told me 2 days before it and I was amazed at the amount of people who turned up. Kids managed to participate in some free sideshow stuff - one even managed to get on telly playing the drums and they seemed to enjoy themselves. Great idea - good luck with the event this year.
One tip for MSE users, if you are going and want tickets for something, get them early.

We went today - I would have never had known about it even though I live just around the corner.

We had a great time. My son got his face painted, made a kite and made a face out of fruit.

All for free - a great day out!

Thanks for the post

You're welcome loadsacash!

We went both days with my 3 year old and 16 month old. 3 year old delighted to have picture taken with Chris Jarvis and Justin/Mr Tumble.

An excellent festival for the little uns. Hope it is on next year.
