Home education families across Warwickshire are invited to something truly special this spring.

On Saturday 28 March, the much-loved Leamington Feel Good Festival returns with a joyful, inclusive day of music, creativity, and community — and at the heart of it is a beautiful, confidence-building experience created especially with home-educated children in mind: Animal Tales.

This isn't about performance. It isn't about pressure. It's about children feeling safe to create, explore, and shine.

RYTC are offering a free pre-festival creative workshop, available by advance booking.

This isn't just a session — it's the beginning of a journey.

During the workshop, children will be guided to create their own original work in a supportive, encouraging environment where ideas are valued and creativity is celebrated. They'll explore, experiment, and express themselves — building confidence as they go.

The work they create won't stay in the classroom.

It will be proudly showcased at the festival, giving each child the powerful experience of seeing their ideas displayed as part of a larger community celebration. For many, this will be their first opportunity to have their work presented in a public setting — a moment that builds pride, belief, and a sense of achievement.

At the festival, each participating child will be presented with a Certificate of Achievement, recognising their creativity, commitment, and courage to share their work.

It's more than a workshop.

It's a creative pathway:

Create → Showcase → Celebrate.

To reserve a place, simply contact us for available dates, and don't forget to book your tickets for the festival as well.

Why Families Love Being Part of This

Because it's relaxed.
