How to choose a child-friendly event
- Confirm the age range and whether children need their own ticket or must attend with an adult.
- Ask whether the event has seating, toilets, baby-changing facilities, step-free access and a quiet space.
- Check food options and allergen information directly with the organiser; never assume a menu is allergen-free.
- Ask whether children may use dandiya sticks, whether soft sticks are available and what safety rules apply.
- Choose a session that matches your child’s energy and bedtime, and plan a way to leave early if needed.
Simple safety plan for families
Agree on a meeting point as soon as you arrive. Make sure children know the name of the accompanying adult and which steward or venue staff member they can approach if separated. Keep emergency contacts available and supervise children closely around dance circles, cables, crowded entrances and food stalls.
Tickets, timings and transport
Event schedules and ticket prices change, so use official event links rather than old 2025 roundups. Check start and end times, last-entry rules, refunds, public transport options and parking information before you travel. Do not rely on this guide for an unlisted event or an unconfirmed kids’ programme.
