Audiences sit on the floor around the performance space, and we recommend that your baby sits on your lap or just in front of you. There will also be bench cushions at the back for those who need or prefer them. There will be up to 40 people watching the show, counting everyone age 6 months or over. We ask you to kindly remove your shoes once inside the space to help protect our specially made floor.

Every performance is followed by a hands-on stay and play session. During the performance itself, we’re really keen to encourage the babies and children to respond however they like, and gurgle, laugh, cry, talk – they don’t have to be quiet! We understand that toddlers can sometimes get a little fidgety or restless. However, because the performer is moving around, it isn’t safe for your little ones to wander during the performance – and we ask that you gently bring them back to you if they do. There will be an opportunity for them (and you) to explore the performance space as part of the stay and play.

The content of these performances is the same and the age brackets are for guidance only, but we find that having special time slots makes for the best experience for all. At the times for babies we have a smaller audience to create a more intimate and calmer environment for the very youngest. Toddlers can have most fun experiencing the shows with others their age who are interacting in similar ways.

The show follows the seasons, starting with winter and moving through spring, summer and autumn, exploring some of the animals and objects that you might encounter in nature. A visual story will be available soon after the show opens in March.
