I took Alice and William along to this out of curiousity mostly. Story telling, sing-along and action songs are the order of the day at this free event set outdoors in the beautiful, compact and tranquil setting of the garden at Keats House, Keats Grove, Hampstead.
The audience consisted of babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers and of course teddies of all shapes and sizes. It lasts 45 minutes from 3pm on Wednesdays throughout August, long enough to keep them interested and participation is very much encouraged. #Those feeling a bit restless, as my 4 (nearly 5) year old did towards the end can run around relatively freely without it being a problem.
Mums and carers should bring picnic blankets, food/drink (no cafe on site though there are some loos adjacent to the picnic green). If I'd been organised enough I'd have remembered to pack a flask for myself! Really sweet event to go along to, ideal for 2-4 years. There is resident parking only near the house though some pay and display places further up.
Alternatively, get there ahead of time and park at the Heath car park a few minutes walk away. Bring bread to feed the ducks on the pond in the heath then stroll over to Keats House. Those looking for a longer day out could take a towel and head to the splash pool over by Parliament Hill afterwards on a sunny day.
Free.
