Relaxation Concerts

Our series of Relaxation Concerts is especially for pre-crawling babies and their grown-ups, and includes classical, folk, world, popular music and nursery rhymes performed by inspirational professional musicians.

Relax, listen, sleep, and enjoy some sensory fun with your pre-crawling babies. Concerts aim to revitalise the grown-ups as well as give your babies a new magical musical experience. Sensory elements include sound, sight and touch, including bubbles, scarves, feathers and simple baby massage techniques for you to explore with your little one at your own pace. Plus you can relax with a cuppa before and after the concert and meet other new parents!

We are proud to be working with Leeds University to explore the parental well-being benefits of our Relaxation Concerts. This research, which is funded by the Leeds Arts and Humanities Research Institute and Cultural Institute, will be published in early 2023. In the meantime, here’s what our audience members say about these events:

“I love that it's so engaging for the babies but also enjoyable for the adults. It really feels like it's something for both of us that we can share.”

“[I love] the quality of the music, the well-equipped and tranquil venue, the friendliness of the people running it, the intimate concert, and the coffee handed to you!”
