Art Baby

‘I truly believe these sessions are good for my health. I feel healed when I come here. An hour in this room makes me feel like a new person’

– Art Baby participant

These sensory play sessions are specially designed to help develop your baby’s physical and social skills. The beautiful and stimulating gallery surroundings are a great place to spend quality time bonding with your baby.

We understand that caring for a baby can be lonely at times. Art Baby is a warm, welcoming and supportive environment where you can meet, play and talk with other parents and carers. Art galleries really are brilliant places for babies. Not only is there lots of space to crawl and explore but there’s also lots of visual stimuli. Babies will love the patterned wallpapers, David Batchelor’s spinning sculpture Plato’s Disco, the video projections and looking out over Whitworth Park through our stunning floor-to-ceiling windows. If you can’t make it to an Art Baby session, you can still visit us with your baby at any time.

These sessions are free to attend and there's no need to book, just come along.
