Save 15% on festival tickets for the whole family with Curious Arts Festival

[HannahGMumsnet]

Afternoon all,

Based in East Sussex, Curious Arts Festival is a family-focused, weekend-long adventure. You can expect talks from fabulous novelists and poet laureates, copious amounts of delicious English sparkling wine, and even some snail-racing. With a host of famous faces taking to the stage (including Suggs from Madness and the author Philippa Perry) this is one weekend not to be missed.

This summer, Curious Arts Festival gave one lucky Mumsnetter the chance to win a Family Weekend Ticket for this year's festival, plus £500 spending money.

To be in with a chance of winning, we asked Mumsnetters to post on this thread letting us know which part of the festival they'd be most excited to see.

Thanks to everyone who entered - this competition is now closed.

I'd LOVE to see the Blow Monkeys - didn't even know they were still performing! 1980s me would be thrilled to know that 2010s me could get to see them seeing as she missed out in the 80s!
Also, Suggs would be AWESOME too!

Would be fantastic to see and hear from Suggs of Madness fame!

What's not to love? My older son has just started building up the confidence to sing, so seeing secret choral performances would inspire him to persevere with overcoming his nerves. My younger son is developing very broad musical tastes so would love seeing Suggs and the Blow Monkeys and I would love being able to give them the chance to experience all that the festival has to offer!

John Cleese

Ive just head a look and there's so many interesting things actually- the bat walk does look great though

Ooh Suggs is going. I love Suggs, heard his programme on Radio 4 recently.
Really interesting

My husband is a big Madness fan so I am sure he would enjoy Suggs.

I would love to go and listen to David Nott. He sounds incredible and interesting.

Since the children came along reading (unless it's the copious amounts of books demanded to be read at their bedtime) has unfortunately taken more of a backseat. The spur to read books by Candice Carty-Williams, Philipa Perry and Guy Kennaway is welcome!

Intrigued by what Bridget Nicholls and Duncan Minshull have to offer, and of course the snail racing, choral performances or UK's most exciting musicians offerings....

John Cleese and the midnight bat walk sounds right up my families street. And mine

Got to be John Cleese. The man's a legend, and a comedy genius!

David Keenan sounds really interesting, the idea of the hallucinatory 80's vision sounds familiar. Would also love to play pooh sticks in Ashdown Forest.

I'd love to see Suggs, and John Cleese, looks great.

Bit at all the posters who are excited about hearing John Cleese talk tbh. Some of his recent comments on social media have made my toes curl. But I would be really interested in hearing more from Lemn Sissay. Really admire his work with looked after children. And a secret choral performance sounds pretty intriguing!

Oh I would love to take my kids to this, it looks amazing!! I would also love to see Suggs, have been a fab for years!

I’d love to see David Nott. I can only imagine how inspirational he would be! The whole family would love a secret midnight bat walk.

Midnight bat walk, camping in the beautiful Ashdown Forest and so many interesting authors

Bridget Nicholls, love her and all that she stands for.
What a lovely end to the school holidays.

I would love to see David Nott

Ooh, I’d love to see Suggs, Welcome to the House of fun indeed!

I'm loving the idea of a hefflelump hunt (the kids might like it too!)

We would like to see Lemn Sissy read his poetry. I enjoy reading his poetry and would like to hear him read it.

We love camping as a family but have never attended a festival. This festival looks great for the whole family with the wide range of activities to keeps us all entertained

Blow Monkeys would definitely be Some Kind of Wonderful

Ohhh Suggs and Lemm Sissy couldn't decide what I want to see more. Sounds mint!

Sounds amazing. Definitely the midnight bat walk

Ooh this looks so good - I’ve not heard of this festival before 🙈

Ds would def love the camping and the bat walk.

For me: a mix of the gin, the poetry and Suggs!
