CAN I BRING MY BABY?

To get the most out of the event it would be great if you could arrange childcare for any little ones, but we are also parents and understand that this is not always possible, so rather than miss out, please know that babies and toddlers can attend with you if you’re unable to get cover. Please note however, the event will be on the first floor and there is no lift, so buggies will need to be carried upstairs.
