Explore the Gallery and creative spaces of the Base through songs, stories, sensory play and movement with professional classical singer Louise Ashdown.

The beautiful and stimulating gallery surroundings are a great place to spend quality time bonding with your baby. Visit our Interactive Tapestry Weaving exhibition by Alastair Duncan with your little one and enjoy 30 minutes of stories and nursery rhymes inspired by the exhibition!

Afterwards, enjoy a leisurely half hour exploring the exhibition with your baby - not only is there lots of space to crawl and explore, but there are lots of visual stimuli, perfect for little one's development. We aim to create a warm, welcoming, and supportive environment where you can meet, play and talk with other parents and carers - so also included in your ticket is either an Americano or pot of tea (and a Babychino) from Honesty at The Base, so you can finish your visit in the café together.

If you can’t make it to a Songs and Stories session, you can still visit us with your baby at any time - everyone (no matter how young or old) is welcome, at any time.
