Wonder Baby (2026)

What does that first step feel like? How does interacting with someone else make us feel? Why does rolling over feel so good!

Join us as we journey from 0-3 years old, finding our feet, our feelings and our fun. Find a connection whether you have children of your own, or from when you yourself were a child.

Using movement and clowning, Wonder Baby invites children and families to explore physical play and experience the joy of creating space to play together.

Grown from the imaginations and experiences of babies, toddlers and their families – Wonder Baby was developed in collaboration with families who took part in the early development of the show.

For 0-3’s and their families.

Duration: This is a play and performance experience, lasting approximately 90 minutes - this includes a gentle start and time for a break if needed.
