Baby’s First Xmas

Baby’s First Xmas is a gentle magical wonderland of gorgeous harmony singing, little lights and enticing textures. Created for babies under one year old by Anna Newell and David Goodall whose work for Early Years audiences has been seen on five continents. This Christmas show promises to delight and entrance the very tiniest of audience members. Each baby can bring one adult guest with them and, to make this a very special experience, audience capacity is very limited so please book early to avoid disappointment.

NOV Tues 26th // 10 am, 11 am and 12pm

Baby’s First Xmas has been especially designed for babies under 1 year old.
Baby’s First Xmas is a multisensory adventure for you to enjoy with your baby.  It takes place in a quiet little white tent set up in a venue in your area with a soft floor for you, your baby and up to seven other babies and their adults to relax in.  There are three performers and the show involves the performers singing and telling the story of the night before xmas with soft red blankets, sleigh bells, and with the green and gold colours of the xmas tree.  It’s a very relaxed atmosphere and the performers interact very closely with the babies, responding to each baby individually – so there’s no right way for your baby to respond.  And if your baby cries or is asleep or wants to move about, that’s all fine.  This playful way of interacting with your baby can benefit them in terms of bonding, language development etc. All you need to do is relax and enjoy the experience with your baby – don’t worry, we won’t make you sing!

Baby’s First Xmas will last about 20 minutes and you’re welcome to stay on for a bit afterwards to relax if you’d like.
