THE smallest Festival in the World will return for its third year to Proteus Creation Space in Basingstoke this weekend.

Residents are invited to enjoy a new lineup on Saturday, July 22, of performance artists, musicians, and creatives for a family-friendly exciting festival.

Fantastic theatre and walkabout acts will be performing throughout the day for a truly authentic experience including Dame Lily Trott Twankey to host a brand-new Panto Dame game show.

The Generation-Blankety-Bingo-Family Fortunes will be hosted alongside the ever-loved, Late Night Assembly extraordinaire, Becky Boobala!

Headlining the event is ever-popular The Whispering Pines, a country, rock and blues Americana band, well-lived on the local music scene.

Returning for a second-year lineup is none other than Madman Sounds, hosting the family rave alongside MC Woosley.

Madman Soundz you might recognise from RaverTots, the UK’s biggest family-friendly rave and festival brand. We’ll also have new music from emerging Cardiff-based band Something About Dinosaurs, who cites artists like Phoebe Bridges and the new-wave indie scene as influences and have just released their new single ‘I Don’t Think I’ll See You Again’.

More information and tickets to all the events can be purchased from Proteus’ website proteustheatre.co.uk.
