Welcome to Dadstastic Day Online 2020.
It’s a day of free family fun organised by Leeds Dads!
There is a wide range of activities for 0-11 year olds, creating opportunities for parents and carers to interact with their kids. Children up to primary age can enjoy music, dance, science, storytelling, art and magic!
Families can learn to dance with organisations like the Northern School of Contemporary Dance, make Leeds Carnival style costumes, and learn to beatbox with SK Schlomo, one of the world’s finest.
It’s due to be the biggest streamed event for dads, mums and kids in England and will be live on Sun 19 July on Facebook, YouTube, Instagram and www.leedsdads.org
