In the morning\, children will get to meet other kids who stammer their own age and be in a space where stammering is the norm whilst they practice their circus and sports skills. \nFour our older children\, join Scroobius Pip to learn some interview/podcasting skills and practice them on our special guest (you might recognize them as someone from The Traitors…)! Parents and guardians will get to meet adults who stammer and network with other parents in the same position. We will also have a panel of adults who stammer sharing their experiences with stammering including the mayor of York and North Yorkshire!\nAfter lunch\, join the rest of our conference for a range of fun family-friendly workshops. There’s something for everyone including sessions on dance\, poetry and music. \nTickets cost just £12.50 per adult\, £7.50 per child with lunch and refreshments included. \nFind out more and book tickets here: https://www.stammafest.org/family-day URL:https://discover-northamptonshire.co.uk/event/family-day-for-young-people-who-stammer-university-of-northampton/ LOCATION:University of Northampton\, Waterside Campus\,\, Northampton\, Northamptonshire\, NN1 5PH CATEGORIES:Family friendly,SEN Friendly,Summer,Workshops ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://discover-northamptonshire.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/banner-16x9-1-scaled.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260823 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260824 DTSTAMP:20251209T120003Z CREATED:20251204T161518Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251209T120003Z UID:10024168-1787443200-1787529599@discover-northamptonshire.co.uk SUMMARY:Monster Truck Nationals DESCRIPTION:THE ACTION-PACKED UK MONSTER TRUCK NATIONALS IS MORE THAN JUST ANOTHER FAMILY DAY OUT! \nSee head-to-head Monster Truck Racing & Freestyle Action with Monster Truck Bus Jumps\nEnjoy a passenger ride in a full-size Monster Truck\nThe Kangaroo Kid ATV Stunt Show\nWorld record holding stunt driver Terry Grant\nReplica Mini Monster Trucks for Children to Drive\nDrag Racing Action\nPLUS Family Monster Truck Festival Camping available!
