A safe, welcoming Toddler Café drop‑in designed especially for families with young children

Enjoy a free soft play, stories and creative play sessions at Shoemakers Museum, a monthly Tuesday meet up in the cafe.

A warm, playful new addition is coming to the Shoemakers Museum education space this spring with our brand‑new Toddler Time Soft Play sessions. Designed especially for little ones, this relaxed drop-in morning offers a safe, welcoming space for babies and toddlers to explore, climb, roll, and play while grown‑ups enjoy a friendly, low‑key environment.

What to Expect

While toddlers play and explore, adults can relax and connect with others. The Shoemakers Museum Café will be open throughout, offering a range of drinks, coffee, and snacks available to purchase.

Bring your little ones along to enjoy a fun, safe, and engaging environment featuring:

  • Soft play equipment
  • A cosy selection of children’s books
  • Musical instruments for creative play

At 11:00am, a 30-minute songs and rhymes session, perfect for supporting early learning, language development, and interaction in a joyful group setting.

Whether you’re looking for a toddler activity, parent-and-child group, or a welcoming local meetup, this is a perfect way to spend your morning.

A fun space for toddlers — and a warm, sociable place for their grown‑ups.
