Snuggleplay - a multi-sensory experience for babies and their families

Snuggleplay is an intimate theatre experience designed for 6-8 babies aged 6 to 15 months and their caregivers. Families are welcomed under the Story Tree, where they are invited on a gentle sensory journey from land to sky to sea, finishing amongst the stars. Featuring gorgeous live music & movement, plus multisensory activities specifically designed for babies and their carers to enjoy together. Babies are accepted just as they are, and encouraged to listen, smell, touch and explore within this warm hug of a show. Snuggleplay is the supportive ‘village’ of our collective imagination, centred on connection, engagement and inclusion. This work responds to the need for early years cultural experiences that prioritise emotional safety, calm, and embodied interaction. Snuggleplay offers a unique artistic experience that sits outside conventional definitions of theatre, early childhood education or parent-and-baby classes.
Please note: This show is created only for caregivers and pre-walking babies aged 6 months to 15 months to give the safest experience for all. Please make alternative care arrangements for siblings.
