The Imagine Festival, London's leading arts festival for families, returns to the Southbank Centre from 18–23 February 2025 for its 23rd edition. Designed for children aged 0–11 and their families, the festival transforms the venue into a cultural playground filled with interactive and creative events.

Behind the scenes of “There's a Bear on My Chair”

One of the festival highlights is “Replay: A Limitless Recycled Playground”, an adventure installation made entirely from repurposed waste materials by The Herd Theatre. “There's a Bear on My Chair” brings Ross Collins' beloved book to the stage with life-sized puppetry directed by Toby Olié. “Poetry Adventures with Kate Wakeling” offers an engaging session where children can enjoy performances and try their hand at writing poetry, while “Rollercoaster” showcases thrilling juggling stunts set to an electro soundtrack featuring rollercoaster-inspired beats. Other standout events include “An Afternoon with Draw with Rob”, where children can sketch alongside illustrator Rob Biddulph, and the “CBeebies Wildlife Jamboree”, an interactive musical celebration of nature featuring Duggee and friends.
