'Heaps of fun for all the family' - Little picnic returns to this year's EP

Bursting with creative workshops, education, sports, wellness, and heaps of fun for all the family, Little Picnic is back at Electric Picnic 2022.

The colourful, child-friendly area from the team behind Kaleidoscope Family Festival is designed specifically with families in mind.

Wander over for a visit and experience all the excitement that awaits at Little Picnic over the festival weekend September 2-4 2022, ending the summer on a high before it’s back to the grindstone at school!

Little Picnic is open to anyone attending Electric Picnic with children.

If you don’t have a Family Camping wristband, Little Picnic wristbands are available to pick up onsite.  

Now, without further ado, standby to see what is in store for families, children and those who are young at heart at Little Picnic this year…
