Young people will be put in the spotlight at next month's Wallingford Bunkfest.

They will be performing in concerts during the festival, between Friday, September 3, and Sunday, September 5, and there will also be special events for them to enjoy.

Bunkfest director Dave Newson said: "There's going to be a magical dragon parade as well as chance for youngsters to learn circus skills, make sculptures from rubbish with the Wild Waste Show and Sustainable Wallingford and join in family ceilidhs on the Kinecroft.

"There are craft exhibitions, donkeys from Island Farm sanctuary at Brightwell-cum-Sotwell and the Wallingford Chamber Choir, with members from Wallingford Children's Choir, will be performing."

The festival of folk music and dancing will include two beer festivals, 60 traders in the craft tents and walks round historic Wallingford. Open-air events are also planned.

Profits from the Bunkfest will support Wallingford Youth and Community Centre, Wallingford Sports Park youth section, Sustainable Wallingford and the Cholsey and Wallingford Railway -- whose nickname, The Bunk, gave the festival its title.
