Visitors will be able to enjoy live music, children's activities including face painting and inflatables, and refreshments including a barbecue and the club's new barista coffees served by newly-trained senior school pupils as part of a new business and training partnership. The club's senior men's, ladies and under-teams will all be in action throughout the day at Laigh Bent, and youngsters will also be able to try out the sport as Hamilton get set to start their new Baby Bulls section for three- to five-year-olds. Hamilton's family festival takes place on Saturday, August 23, at their Bent Road clubhouse and grounds, beginning from 11.30am. Local musicians Sunny Evans, May Terra and Luis Kelly will be taking to the stage throughout the day, while the festival activities include a 70ft inflatable assault course, bouncy castle, inflatable 'hungry hippos', archery and face painting by local business owner Zoe Hadly. The club is also teaming up with Lanarkshire businesses Strachan Craft Butchers who are providing burgers for the barbecue, Equi's ice cream, and We Love Coffee who are training local school pupils including a group from Strathaven Academy to carry out barista work. Children will have the opportunity to try playing rugby at a special station, with club volunteers Megan Lindsay and Ali Anderson currently working to start the Baby Bulls section for the youngest players. On the senior pitches, the men's team will be playing West of Scotland, while the women and under-18s take on respective South Lanarkshire rivals East Kilbride and Cambuslang – and organisers say: 'We can't wait to share our family festival with these teams as well.' A club spokesperson said: 'We are relaunching our club as a community space, and are hosting the family festival to celebrate; it's designed to be a relaxed, welcoming day out where parents can enjoy local food and music whilst little ones are entertained. 'We're looking to host many more community events; we are at the very beginning but intend to have many more events from fireworks night to food markets. 'We are teaming up with We Love Coffee to start selling barista coffees in the club and are working with local schools to put students through barista training and offer them work experience to get more young people into the world of work; and also with Freedom Bakery to provide pastries every Sunday.' or at the gate on the day. * Don't miss the latest headlines from around Lanarkshire.
