Fantastic for Families is an event listings distribution database and year-round promotional campaign to families, run by the Family Arts Campaign and supported by Arts Council England.
Family arts and cultural event listings can be added to the central database and website (www.fantasticforfamilies.com) for distribution to a number of family-facing partner channels with the combined reach of 11 million potential families. Alongside this, a wide-scale national marketing and press campaign offers additional opportunities for coverage.
Fantastic for Families aims to connect venues with family audiences whilst giving prominence and national profile to companies, artists and other practitioners who produce, create and tour work for families.

New Partnerships & Live Event Feeds
Thanks to a number of new partnerships with leading family, arts and listings websites, your event details will be shared widely to a targeted and engaged audience. A live event feed system also means that if you update your event details via the Fantastic for Families database, your listing will be automatically updated across all partner sites. All of our partners have a large national reach and an established network of families – find out more about them here. We’re signing-up new partners each week to ensure your events reach as many families as possible!
