| Description | The Festival of Youth was in aid of King George's Jubilee Trust (established in 1935 and devoted to the welfare of the 'rising generation') and was organised by The British Sports and Games Association in conjunction with The Central Council of Recreative Physical Training and Wembley Stadium Ltd. 10,000 young people took part in the Festival as representatives of their organisations, including representatives from the Women's league of Health and Beauty, Boy Scouts Association, Dalcroze Society and the Greek Dance Association. The festival included demonstrations of gymnastics, dancing, team games and keep fit.
