On Sunday we headed on down to Mini Vault (the new addition to the Vault festival) in the tunnels under Waterloo. You've still got time to make it if you've not already checked it out.
Our own little hippy absolutely loved it and what child wouldn't? The main space is decorated like a child's wonderland with lots of dangly, shiny and tactile decorations. A large craft table dominates the main area where for £2 children can spend as long as they want helping themselves to a large array of craft materials to create to their hearts content. Eloise loved this, I don't think she's sat at one activity for that long in her life, and the fact she was allowed to decorate a box from Cardboard Kingdom making her own crazy monster was demonstrated with some outbursts of crazy dancing and fits of giggles.
With live music, play tents, soft play area complete with sofa's and children's books, drawing stations, giant Connect 4, giant o'x and x's, children's hula hoops, toys and face painting there was plenty to keep our 20 month and 3 year old happy. I wish I had taken my camera to show you but I don't think the pictures would have done it justice as it was probably the laid back festival vibe that made it really enjoyable.
Needless to say they did not want to leave so we took a stroll along the main tunnel watching the artists creating their amazing spray painted creations and then along the South Bank homeward bound.
Definitely one for our diaries next year!

It looks wonderful and I also loved the post with Eloise making her bottles, she is adorable!
Thanks. It was wonderful, they do some amazing things in the Vaults, recently they had Alice in Wonderland which looked great fun!
