The Dads Network CIC
The Dads Network is the national membership organisation for all community dads' groups in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
DadFest offers a weekend full of activities for all father figures and their children. This unique festival takes place over two days with a range of great activities including archery, storytelling, bat walks, kid’s disco, campfire cooking, music workshops, star-gazing, water rockets, slip n slide, circus skills, Forest School activities, fishing, pizza-making, and award-winning food and lots more. The festival is renowned for its highlight event – the ‘World Dad Dancing Championship’, hotly contested by grooving dads, much to the sheer embarrassment of their kids. Tickets for DadFest 2026 in Yorkshire (in May), near Stockport (in July), in Sussex (in early August) and in Devon (in September) are now on sale – be quick, this award-winning festival always sells out Tickets are on sale via tickettailor below.
