Little Foodies Zone

A dedicated space designed especially for gluten-free children and their families.

The Little Foodies Zone is packed with fun, interactive activities to help children celebrate being gluten free, make new friends and enjoy the festival in a safe and welcoming environment. From biscuit decorating and storytime to the Little Foodies Trail, there's something for every child to enjoy throughout the day. Most Little Foodies activities are included with your festival ticket, with face painting available for an additional charge.

For Parents

Short reassuring section explaining that activities run throughout each session / children remain supervised by parents etc., depending on your arrangements.

Story & Confidence Corner

In partnership with Freeater

A calm and creative space designed to help little foodies feel confident and included.

Settle into the cosy story corner for a reading of Alex and the Feel Good Foods, a story created to help children feel understood, included and more confident around food.

Children can also enjoy colouring, search sheets and creative activities inspired by the book, including the chance to take part in a special competition.

Families can also discover the Freeater app and explore how it can help them find more inclusive places to eat.

A lovely space to read, create, discover and build confidence. 📚✨

Biscuit Decorating

In partnership with Schär

A hands-on activity for little foodies who love getting creative!

Choose from a selection of Schär gluten-free biscuits, then decorate your favourite with icing and colourful toppings to create your own biscuit masterpiece.

Once you’ve finished, share a photo of your creation on social media and tag Cardiff Gluten-Free Festival and Schär for the chance to win some Schär goodies.

A fun, creative activity with plenty of opportunity to get a little messy too. 🍪✨

Little Foodies Trail

In partnership with Moo Free

A little festival adventure designed especially for our youngest visitors!

Collect your Little Foodies Trail card on entry, then make your way around the festival to find each of the Little Foodies stops. Explore what’s happening at every stop and get your trail card signed off as you go.

Once every stop has been completed, head back to the Prize Desk to collect your reward.

A fun way for children to explore, get involved and discover different parts of the festival, with a little Moo Free adventure along the way. 🐾
