Discover our popular parent and baby / toddler & pre-school groups - where we bring our unique, creative approach to early-years performance, storytelling and play.
We have commissioned five professional artists to visit FIRST and SECOND workshops from September to Christmas. An artist chosen by the group will then lead a 4 week creative process - creating memories to share and treasure.

Our First Workshops were so popular, we had to expand to the next age group because none of our parents wanted to leave when their babies got older!

FIRST AUDIO STORIES FROM EARLY PARENTHOOD
In summer 2021, we invited performance artist Katie-anna Whiting to visit our First Workshops in Hastings & St Leonards, Brighton, Bedford and Winchester. Katie ran puppetry sessions and asked parents to share their memories and stories from the first 18 months of their baby's life. These stories have now been transformed into an audio series pieced together by theme. We hope you enjoy these short videos which many new parents can relate to
