Show Bio

Tots is an interactive storytelling, 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-3 years). Ages are provided purely as guidance, and we encourage confident walkers to attend Stars regardless of age.

Tots Stars is for confident walkers. We are also relaxed if the child is 4 and still wants to attend the session, as long as you and the practitioner feel it’s suitable. If you are unsure of the most suitable group, please contact us at [email protected].

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.
