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.
