Creative play sessions for parents & their 0–2 year olds

4-week artist-led series | Starting January 2026

Bond & Play is a relaxed, artist-led play session for parents and their babies and toddlers , a chance to slow down, get messy, get curious and enjoy being present together.

Led by artist Lucy McDonald, who specialises in art and play, each session welcomes you into an immersive space of gentle, open-ended play invitations that explore the senses. Think movement, live soundscapes, touch, light and mark-making, with plenty of freedom to follow your child’s lead.

There’s no pressure, no right way to play and no expectation to join in with everything. Come as you are, play as much or as little as you like, and enjoy some creative time together.

Benefits:

The sessions are designed to strengthen your bond through play, encouraging you to tune into your child’s curiosity—what they notice, reach for and respond to. There will be opportunities for one-to-one moments, alongside optional shared play with others.
