A festival of fun for 0-4 year olds and their grown-ups
Come and play at our very first early years festival – a jam-packed mid-week of fun for our littler visitors, with everything perfectly curated for babies, toddlers and preschoolers (plus their grown-ups!)
As part of your Entry ticket this week, you can enjoy extra stories and sensory Story Builder interactions for little ones, with music and story building, across our Story Worlds and Garden. Our Hairy Maclary trail and dog-care café installation brings furry friends to accompany you on your visit. And the amazing team at the University of East London’s ‘Baby Development Lab’ will be running free, short talks for parents on the science of baby brain development, plus a chance to take part in their interactive eye-tracking booth and learn more about this fascinating area of research.
Plus, to add extra wonderfulness to your visit, take part in the touchy-feely That’s not my Dinosaur… in our cosy storytelling space, join our wonderful friends Chickenshed Theatre’s brand new show for little ones, Spots and Stripes, and Discover’s brand new show Oaker – a dream-like sensory storytelling which has been co-created with 2-4 year olds and our wonderful Story Builders.
