Have you heard of Funfest UK?

It’s billing itself as the UK’s first family-friendly blogger conference and brand ambassador exhibition.

Taking place on Saturday, September 12th 2015 at Whittlebury Hall (near Milton Keynes) in Northampton, Funfest will provide bloggers from across the UK with the opportunity to

Learn from their peers and leading media experts

Attend masterclasses on how to grow audiences, how to make (more) money from blogging, SEO, top social media tips and more

Get an introduction to some of the top brands in toys and pre-school products – who are all looking for new brand ambassadors

Network with your peers in a relaxed, informal environment

Bring your kids! The event is all about fun, so why should the kids miss out!

I’m going. I’m going to take the two little ones, and I’m really looking forward to a fun day out, hopefully meeting up with a whole bunch of bloggers and brands, and giving the kids chance to try out a bunch of toys which I’m chatting. The kids go free (you can take up to three on one ticket), lunch is included, and the ticket is only £39.99, which sounds like a pretty good deal to me.

So, have I persuaded you? What about if I said that exhibitors include JCB toys and The Entertainer toy shop? You can find the full list of exhibitors and speakers as well as booking details on the Funfest site here (there are links to discounted local hotels too) *and* I found a ticket giveaway with What Katy said as well!

If you do decide to go, make sure you ping me on twitter or leave me a comment so that I know to look out for you, and I’ll build a twitter list so that we can all find each other before hand. Hope to see you there!

Disclosure: I am working with funfest and receiving a ticket in recompense for this post.
