A new fun-filled family day has been added to this year’s Milton Keynes Comedy Festival - with award-winning comedians, storytelling and interactive games that everyone can enjoy.

The annual festival is getting even bigger this year, with the launch of a brand-new Family Festival Day on Saturday, July 11. The full day of comedy, storytelling and interactive fun will be created especially for younger audiences and their families to enjoy.

Developed by MyMiltonKeynes BID, in partnership with The Comedy Cow, the Family Festival brings together beloved children’s performers, high-energy comedians and hands-on experiences for a lively, laughter-filled programme from morning to evening.

With a jam-packed line-up, families can book individual shows separately, most priced at just £5, allowing them to build a personalised schedule to suit their day.
