About Lollibop:
LolliBop is the biggest UK festival for Kids. It’s a magical land of endless fun for the under 10s and the best summer day out for families. It brings all the thrills and excitement of a festival vibe but without the hassle of camping and long car journeys.


Now going into its 3rd year, this 3 day event is the UK’s only festival where all the entertainment is for children. It will keep our pint sized festival goers busy all day with an action packed programme that will delight your little ones; It has an abundance of shows and activities to keep all ages entertained from 0 -10.

Lollibop are expecting between 30,000 and 40,000 visitors over the three days, with Saturday expected to be the busiest (predictions from previous years numbers are approx 10,000 -12,000 on the Friday and Sunday and 12,000 - 15,000 on the Saturday) so all three days will be a huge amount of people at the event.

We Make London Stalls:
The stalls in the We Make London area will all be under marquees.... we know its August but you never can predict that good ole' British weather.
You will be provided with a 6ft x 2ft, 3 inch trestle table. The We Make area will consist of eight 3 metre x 3 metre marquees, with three trestle tables under each marquee. So a total of 24 stalls. The marquees are a simple design so please feel free to talk to us about ideas for making the marquee you will be in look pretty.

The costs are £120 for all 3 days, £80 for 2 days (booking either the Friday and Saturday or Saturday and Sunday), or £45 for a single day.
If you would like to book a whole marquee with two friends so that you decorate the marquee between you please let us know via email and we will make sure you are positioned together.

Types of Sellers/Products:

The marketplace isn't just going to be aimed at the kids, but the parents too. So although we will have stalls of clothes, toys etc. We really want is products aimed at parents so purses, jewellery, home ware, textiles, etc.
Over the past years they have aimed the market at just the children, and it has been successful. But there is so much more potential. The whole event is a focus on children, but the aim of this is a marketplace that both the children and the adults can enjoy together.
Products that are at a price point that children can buy as a treat for mum, dad, other siblings, or parents getting their child to choose a product for nanny.
We want the same kind of mix as our area at the Thames Festival last year, if you want to see the kind of thing we did please check here :
