The Fantasy Fringe

A wholly imaginary programme of workshops for the frazzled modern parent. None of these are real. Sadly. Please do not actually tattoo, tether, Velcro or tube-feed anyone.

QR-Code Child Tagging

PERMANENT-ISH · INK OPTIONAL

Mislaid a child? Never again. We tattoo a discreet QR code to your offspring and register them online — one quick scan reunites lost property with rightful owner. Lamination available.

iPad Separation Tent

UNPOWERED · STRICTLY OFFLINE

For the screen-weaned child mid-withdrawal: a calm, dim space where they may gaze upon small, switched-off black rectangles — grounding themselves on the void — until the trembling subsides and equilibrium returns.

Parents' Wine Quenching Tent

TUBES PROVIDED

Grown-ups recline as house red is gravity-fed straight from hanging buckets via individual tubing. No glass to hold, no decisions to make. A sommelier shouts "refill" so you needn't move.

V.I.P. — Very Important Parents

BY SMUGNESS ONLY

A velvet-roped sanctuary for parents of profound self-importance. Complimentary lanyard, a fold-out throne, and the quiet bliss of being just the other side of the rope from everyone else.

Child-Tethering Stable

LEADS SUPPLIED

Like a coat-check, but for toddlers. Securely tether your child to our purpose-built stable rail — hay optional — and enjoy a hot drink within sightline. Watered hourly, on the hour.

Vertical Crèche

VELCRO + FLEECE

Pop baby into a fluffy Velcro suit and press gently to our soft padded wall. Teletubbies loops at a hypnotic distance. Babies hang happily; parental arms are returned to service.

Emotional Baggage Handling

EXCESS WEIGHT WELCOME

A supportive tent where grown-ups process the rich childhood trauma so generously bestowed upon them — by their own children. Tissues, a firepit and knowing nods all provided.

Treat-Testing Lab

GRAMS PER GUMMY

Festival-grade harm reduction for the pick-and-mix generation. Hand in your child's party-bag haul and our white-coated technicians assay the sugar load, flag anything dangerously moreish, and return an honest gram-per-gummy readout. No judgement — just numbers.
