Since KidsFest! began back in 2012, it has fast become a key event on Hong Kong's cultural calendar. Whether it's comedy, sing-along-songs, or acrobatics, the festival offers a wide variety of performances that can help nurture your child's interest in art and literature, while having tons of fun along the way. Here are our favourites in store for 2019.

3. Room on the Broom

What do you get when you throw a witch and her cat, a hungry fire dragon, and a few friendly hitch-hikers into the cauldron? A brooming great show, that's what. Filled with songs and laughter, the show invites you to join the witch and her friends on an exciting adventure as they take on a mission to defeat the hungry dragon. Room on the Broom is an Olivier-nominated musical adaptation of the classic picture book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheddler – so you know some amazing entertainment is on the cards.

Senior editor

Born in Hong Kong and raised in the UK, Jenny grew up with the best of both worlds. She loves just about anything to do with music and doesn’t shy away from belting out a tune or two when it comes to karaoke. If she’s not out and about exploring the city and practising her photography skills, she’s probably tucked up in bed with a book or glued to her laptop doing her online shopping.
