Belfast Children's Festival is set to be staged over the weekend of 10th March, with various activities and events taking place across the city.

Stop Motion Animation is an art workshop using toys and materials to engage participants in the world of stop motion animation.

Children will be able to create their own mini-movie with the materials provided, as well as toys and dolls the children bring themselves.

The Helter Belter Skelter is a unique racing opportunity for all those coiling toy car enthusiasts. Children of all ages can compete with cars provided or even bring their own in an attempt to win prizes.

Stare Wars is a battle of endurance. Competitors battle to see who can stare out their opponent from the comfort of a rocking chair.

There are many other events on offer that will ensure that the entire weekend is thoroughly enjoyable and active. There will be a full cinema schedule of children's movies, such as Fern Gully, Up, Ponyo and Fantastic Mr Fox.
