As announced at our event yesterday, Classical Babies is re-branding!!

Make your suggestions below, and the winner will receive a large celebration cake from The Cherry Bakery.... Ready, steady, go!!
**The winner will be announced at our next event on Tuesday 8th May**

Just a little reminder of our price increase ahead of tomorrow's concert... I'll try and have plenty of float with me, but if you could bring the right change that would be super helpful!! xxx

Well chuffed to being having Sam back 😊

The time has come to make a small increase to our ticket price here at Classical Babies Didsbury.
I have been running Classical Babies Didsbury for almost 4yrs now, and the associated costs (venue hire, musicians' fees, refreshments, etc) have continued to go up year upon year, so it has now become necessary to reflect this in our ticket pricing.
Tickets will now be £12 per adult - little ones still come along free, and coffee & cake is still included. I'm also introducing a ...family ticket for £20, where two parents/carers wish to accompany the same child(ren).
I hope all that makes sense - any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

We don't get to as many of these as I would like but my son (nearly 2) is always entranced whatever the type of concert, and it's a treat for me too!

Thank you for a lovely concert today with the soprano Caroline Kennedy! It was great for my baby and toddler to listen to high quality live music in a good setting, and for the children to try out the baby violins. We look forward to coming to more concerts in the future!

Lovely concert today, my ten month old had a great time-waving and clapping throughout! Many thanks!

Love the a Classical babies concerts, myself and my 15 month have been to a few and it's always lovely seeing him stop, listen and smile.

Had a wonderful time. My 6 month old really responded to the music. She was fascinated by the violin. Beautiful playing with interesting music. Loved it!
