The Bach to Baby website is being upgraded!
A few bits of the site might not be working perfect - we're sorry about this and we are working to fix these issues.

Every child is different, but we find that babies only a few days old may become quiet and still especially as they hear the music start. Older babies often smile, sing and wave their arms. Toddlers can show a full range of appreciation from clapping and singing to full on dancing. Our experience over hundreds of concerts is that babies and young children can definitely appreciate and enjoy almost all styles of classical music.
No! Bring them all – newborns, tots under 5, older kids off from school, we love them all.
To make sure everyone enjoys the concert, each adult can bring up to 2 children with them for free!
You don't need anything specific that you wouldn't take for a trip to the park with your baby. If it is going to be your first time out with your little one, we like this baby's first trip packing list.
Absolutely! The concerts are very popular with nurseries and schools as an outing. Please ask the nursery to get in touch for guidelines and details. Children £5, nursery staff and accompanying parents £3.
Yes! The concerts are designed so that children can be themselves. They can feed during the concert, or have a crawl around. For those who are more adventurous, we usually have room in the back for them to explore under your supervision, and they can rejoin the music at any point when they feel like it.
Of course! That's why we now hold Friday 4pm concerts as well as some weekend concerts - so that you can get to a concert after the school-run. Like babes in arms, school-age children still get in for free. Children aside, what better way to begin a weekend for us adults!?!
This is also an excellent opportunity for older children to learn the art of attentive listening. While babies and toddlers are not expected to sit still, older children are encouraged to respect other audience members' enjoyment of the concert.
Yes! We usually have a mic so you will be able to hear us speak. We won’t be using the system when performing though.
While the children can cry and dance and sing as much as they like, we ask adult audiences to set a good example by keeping the chit-chat to a minimum so everyone can enjoy the quiet intimate moments of the music.
For the best sound, and the best seats in the house, bring cushions and throws and come join us up front!
Yes! Our venues are accessible by ramp. Visit the venue page, and click on map and access to find out more. There is usually plenty of space for buggy parking.
Of course, carriers are always welcome!
We’d be delighted. We will take requests on the day. And thanks to an enthusiastic audience member, I now know "The Teddy Bear's Picnic," so we can do that one too! If English isn’t your mother tongue, not to worry; we have prepared a list of lyrics to the most beloved nursery rhymes for you to prep up before a concert, or to enjoy as a resource with your child any time.
You've spotted it! We have a professional photographer on staff at most of our concert. Give us a few days to upload them onto our dedicated photos website, and then you can download them yourself for a nominal fee. If you prefer not to have your photos taken, please do speak to the photographer at the concert, and we'll get it sorted for you.
Yes! You can buy tickets for each concert on the relevant location page. There are usually tickets available for the next few months. You only need tickets for adults though - children come for free to our concerts (up to 2 per adult)!
We offer a discount of 10% for 3 or more tickets purchased - plug in the code SAVE when you've chosen your tickets, et voila!
We know that life with kids can be unpredictable at times, so we offer an exchangeable option that allows you to exchange your tickets for another concert happening within 3 months. If your chosen tickets are eligible, you’ll see a pop-up at the checkout with details.
If you still have 'flexi-tickets' (purchased before March 2020) then you can continue to use them up to the expiry date on the ticket with the same validity. Please note that some events must be pre-booked and flexi-tickets will not be valid. This is indicated clearly on each event page. This usually applies for smaller venues which may be capacity constrained, or at particularly busy times in the calendar.
All concerts where flexi-tickets are accepted are also listed here.
Our concerts usually last around an hour. Details of concert length is stated on each concert info page. This is an approximation to help you plan your visit. We do our best to ensure timings are as prompt as possible but please be aware that these can vary by up to 10 minutes as they may be affected by last-minute programme changes and encores.
We don't; every group must come with at least one baby/child.
Yes! Please get in touch by email, and we'll go from there!
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any other questions.
Warm regards
Miaomiao
