Check availability for Baby Boo (opens in a new window)

A happy toddler is sat amongst straw like material, reaching out to touch it.

Baby Boo is back, having developed a series of socially distanced early years bubbles.  

Morning Pre Walkers Session
In your bubble, you and your little one will go on a sensory journey through sensory based interactive storytelling and exploring light and sound, using the theatre lights to create a multi sensory experience.

The session will last for 1 hour 30 minutes. For pre-walkers only

Afternoon Walkers Session
Each month, you and your little one will go on a journey of discovery exploring a different sense; light, sound, touch and movement from your own socially distanced bubble.  Along with interactive sensory storytelling with Sue.

The session will last for 1hour. This session is for walkers up to the age of 4 years only.

If you are planning on visiting here are a few things you need to know:

To make sure the session runs viably and safely you are asked that you restrict your bubble to one grown-up and where possible one baby.
If you need to make a booking with multiple children, please contact michelle@horseandbamboo.org before booking and where ever possible your booking will be accommodated.

Grown-up and baby will be given their own allocated space to explore.  There is minimised use of soft furnishing in this session. There is a duvet per bubble but if you would like extra blankets/pillows please bring your own.

Due to social distancing measures places are limited at these sessions. The Boo hold the ‘Good To Go’ Industry Standard.  Meaning they adhere to the government guidance for the industry for COVID-19.  All the relevant risk assessments and processes are in place to maintain cleanliness and social distancing.  To find out more about COVID-19 policies and what to expect when you visit please visit https://www.horseandbamboo.org/before-you-arrive.  

​​​​​The Boo have a current programme of events “Pay What You Can” to make their events affordable to all their audience.  However, if you are able to donate the price of a ticket this will help to continue to keep theatre affordable to all.
