Little Bop family-friendly festival will be taking over Binks Yard in Nottingham for a day filled with entertainment for all the family.

The 'mini-fest' will feature a host of fun entertainment including DJs and live entertainers, street food, carnival dancers, fire eaters, stilt walkers, games, hair braiding, face painting, and more.

There will also be an interactive drum workshop for any budding young musicians.

Little Bop organisers say the festival is fun for "children of all ages". The event will run from 12:45 until 3:15pm.

Tickets for the event go on sale on Friday (March 29) at 10am.

Binks Yard is a popular venue in Nottingham, that plays host to some of the city's most fun events.

Later this year it will transform into a Euros Fan Park as the football season kicks off.

It also frequently hosts live music events and does an epic Sunday roast.
