NEW! First Workshops 0-18 months parent & baby groups - Eastbourne

Connection, art, creativity, music, storytelling, friendships and fun are at the heart of Spun Glass Theatre’s First Workshops for parents and babies 0-18 months!

Come join our popular parent and baby group and explore a variety of different creative activities together every week, including song-singing, music, movement, sensory play, storytelling and much more.

Throughout the term we will work on various artistic projects together as a group, with an exciting 5-week schedule planned. Our workshop leaders will introduce you and your baby to new activities every week, helping you to discover new experiences together.

Building a friendly, welcoming group

Welcoming a new baby into your family can be challenging, but there's no need to feel like you're going through it alone - having a supportive group around you can make all the difference when you are a new parent or carer. We create a welcoming, inclusive space where you can choose to be open about the challenges you experience with a new baby. Relax, recharge, connect with your baby, and make new friends.

Do you or your baby have any additional needs? We can have an open discussion about how we can best support you and adapt our sessions to make sure you feel included and comfortable - just let us know in advance and we can arrange a call.

Run by our highly experienced artists, our First Workshops are full of sensory activities, exploratory free play, music, movement, engagement, and stories - our focus is to introduce art and culture to your baby's early years, and help them learn about the world around them in a magical way.

⭐ Sessions last 1hr 30 mins - refreshments are provided.

⭐ This is a 5-week course of workshops - book your space for the whole term.

⭐ Free spaces available for single parents, those under 25 and those on Universal Credit. ⭐ TRAVEL BURSARIES ARE ALSO AVAILABLE - we'll help cover the cost of your travel to and from the group each week. Funded by Arts Council England.
