Join us for a day of activities exploring a range of themes relating to belief, birth and the body.

You’ll have the chance to take part in a creative workshop, join an object-handling session, look at copies of historical items from our collections, hear from a variety of speakers and attend guided tours of ‘Expecting: Birth, Belief and Protection’. All events are led by facilitators. Everyone is welcome.

Scroll down for full details, times and locations. One event requires booking in advance, while the rest are drop-in sessions.

A BSL interpreter will be available throughout the day – you can ask a member of staff if you need BSL support.

If you want a break from the activities at any point in the day, you can head to our Chill-Out Rooms to lie down or relax. There will be low lighting, comfortable seating, cushions, mats, ear defenders, earplugs and sensory toys.

Please note, some of the activities may involve discussion and imagery relating to childbirth, infertility, child loss and medical trauma.
