Event:Bedtime Story with Babis Bach Babies

National Museum Cardiff
Finished

To the moon and back before bath time? Whatever next! Join Baby Bear as he finds a rocket, makes friends with an owl and has a picnic on the moon!  

Snuggle up in your comfiest pyjamas, grab your favourite teddy, and experience a magical evening of music and storytelling beneath the glowing Museum of the Moon. 

We’re bringing Jill Murphy’s beloved classic “Whatever Next!” to life in a bilingual (Welsh and English) session filled with  storytelling, live harp music, singing and a chance to explore instruments. Perfect for babies, toddlers, and children up to 7 years old. There’s something enchanting for everyone! 

Babis Bach Babies combine live music from classically trained musicians with interactive storytelling. Their sessions aim to support early years education by encouraging language learning in both Welsh and English, introduce topical themes through song and movement and develop confidence through participation 

Sessions on 1 April will also be BSL interpreted by Cathryn McShane-Kouyaté.

 Important information: 

The session is perfect for babies, toddlers and children up to 7 years old – but anyone can join in on the fun! 

The event will take place in the Main Hall under our new moon! Mats will be provided to sit on. You’re welcome to bring a blanket and pillow, but no duvets, please. 

PJ’s and favorite cuddly toys are more than welcome! Please be aware that footwear must be worn at all times. You might also want to wrap up warm!
