Children and young adults are welcome to attend the Festival, however for their safety and wellbeing some special conditions apply.

Anyone under the age of 16 must be accompanied by two nominated responsible adult carers over the age of 18.  Those who are aged 16 and 17 years must be accompanied by an adult over 18.  You will be asked to provide the names of the carers/accompanying adult at the point of booking, and will be unable to complete the booking  without it.

Festivals are public events and the care and safety of children and young adults remains at all times the responsibility of their parents/nominated carers/accompanying adult. For insurance purposes, the NKT-IKBU and the Festival Organisers cannot take responsibility for children and young adults.

Festival Fees & Accommodation:

Discounts apply to under 16’s bookings. Please see the Fees page for details about fees for children and young adults and the Accommodation page for more information about available accommodation for children and young adults.

Teachings:

We regret that children under 3 are not allowed in the Temple or marquee extensions during sessions. Any children who do attend teachings are not permitted to play electronic games. Children of all ages are welcome to attend puja.

A video link in a comfortable quiet area reserved for carers with children is available for all sessions.

Stewarding will be provided in this area. If you are a parent with young children and would like to volunteer to help with Stewarding this area please contact kids@kadampafestivals.org.

Family Activities:

It is intended to offer a programme of family activities during the break times. All children participating must be accompanied by at least one of their nominated responsible adult caregivers at all times. Should there be a lack of activity leaders attending, then an area for children and families to organise their own games will be provided.

Parents are reminded that children (of all ages) must be under adult supervision at all times.
