Little Heroes at the Boulevard: a kids’ Olympic day on Friday and Saturday from KD 5

This weekend the cricket ground at Boulevard Park in Salmiya becomes a kids’ sports day built on the Olympics. It’s called Little Heroes, it’s run by the events company Suffix with IKEA as sponsor, and it’s for children aged 4 to 12, though parents get pulled into some of the races too.

When and where

• Days: Friday 30 and Saturday 31 October 2026.
• Start: 3pm. The organiser hasn’t published a finish time and says the full schedule will go out on its social accounts nearer the day.
• Venue: the Cricket Ground, Boulevard Park, Salmiya.

Tickets

Each ticket covers one day, so you pick Friday or Saturday when you book:

• Child (4 to 12): KD 5.
• Child plus one adult: KD 7.
• Each extra guest (13 and over): KD 3.

Book on the Suffix website (suffix.events) or its app. Some categories may be on a waiting list, in which case a payment link is emailed after you book and the place is only confirmed once you pay. Groups can ask for a discount at [email protected].

What happens on the day

• A run of Olympic-style sports for children to try and find the one they like. Platinumlist’s guide to the event lists six sports zones, races and family fitness challenges.
• Every child taking part gets a kit bag with a T-shirt, a medal and a few extras, and there’s name printing for the shirt and engraving for the medal on site.
• The ticket covers the whole day with no add-on charges, but food and drink aren’t included.
