THE QUAY Arts Centre became a hub of family fun activity for the launch of the first IW Children's Festival.

For three days, the team from the Ventnor Exchange hosted performances, storytelling, games and workshops at Quay Arts.

The two arts organisations worked together to put on the new festival.

Performances included a stage show bringing Tove Jansson's famous creation The Moomins to life.

There were events and activities for children of all ages, as well as parents and grandparents.

Most of the events were free to attend, other than four ticketed shows.
