Family tips
Practical tips for family outings
Age limits
Check the recommended age
Events state a suggested age range or minimum age. Look for it on the event page and note whether babies and toddlers need a ticket.
Timing
Pick sessions around naps and meals
Morning sessions tend to suit younger children. Allow time for toilet breaks and snacks, especially for longer shows.
Prams
Ask about pram access
Many venues are accessible, but some events ask for prams to be left at a drop-off point. Check the event or venue page before you go.
Tickets
Book ahead for popular sessions
Children’s shows and holiday programmes can sell out. Book early where tickets are required.
Weather
Have an indoor option
Outdoor events can be hot or wet. Bring water, sun protection and a back-up plan.

Agree a meeting point
Large crowds are easy to get lost in. Settle on a meeting spot and keep contact details on your child.
