Performances and events
For most seated, non-family specific performances, children under 18 months are considered ‘babes in arms’. They won’t need a ticket or be allocated a seat, as they can sit on the lap of their parent or guardian.
There are no age restrictions at any of our gigs or other events, unless specified otherwise. Under-16s must be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times.
Garden
We have a lovely, garden that families are welcome to use when open. Please ensure that children are supervised when using this space.
Breastfeeding friendly
We welcome breastfeeding at Cecil Sharp House. Babies can be breastfed anywhere in our venue.
