Tots Twinkles Jan – Apr ’25
Tots is an interactive story-telling, music and movement class for early years children and their grown-up friends.
At the Mercury we believe imagination and creativity are a vital part of a child’s early life and these 45 minute sessions are designed to stimulate both.
Tots is designed to provide parents and carers with an opportunity to explore creative play which is theatrically delivered by our wonderful teaching artists.
Tots is £6.50 per class. Each space booked covers one small person and one parent/guardian taking part.
There are two age groups available to book: Twinkles (3-18 months) and Stars (18 months to 3 years). Ages are provided purely as a guidance and we encourage confident walkers to attend Stars regardless of age.
We advise that Tots Twinkles is for those babies that are not yet walking. If they are confident walkers, we recommend the Tots Stars session.
On arrival, please wait in our Box Office for the Mercury artist(s) who will lead you to the room. If you are late to the session, please ask at Box Office who will be able to show you where to go.
Please note: There will be no session on 18th February.
