The first session of the day includes a trip to an Ancient Greek warrior school (Agoge) where children are immersed in a world of Spartan brutality and the Olympic Games.
The final session includes a re-telling of Beowulf, one of England’s oldest and most exciting stories featuring monsters, mystical swords, swimming and dragons.
Sharon Canavar, Chief Executive of Harrogate International Festivals, said:
“The Children’s Festival is a fun-filled way to spark young imaginations in the key areas of music, dance, history and storytelling.
"There’s something for everyone at the Children’s Festival this year – and we can’t wait to see families strut their stuff to some fab tunes on our dance floor at the Silent Disco!”
