The line-up for Kaleidoscope, the new three-day family-friendly festival at Russborough Estate this summer, has been announced.

Aimed at children and teenagers of all ages, as well as their parents, the festival begins on Friday, June 28th, the day almost all schools break for the summer holidays. As well as music, it will feature a spoken-word stage, a range of outdoor activities and a festival of food, among other things.
