BOOK MONTHLY BABY ACTIVITIES

At the Museum

A season of monthly sessions for babies under one and their families.

Baby Bundle is a three-month series of creative, nurturing sessions designed especially for you and your baby. Perfect for new experiences, meeting other families, and exploring the Museum together.

Led by our Learning Team, sessions are inspired by the Ashmolean’s remarkable collections. Each session offers interactions to spark curiosity and support your baby’s early development. Activities include sensory play, singing, music, gentle movement, and first-time art adventures.  

Each month, you and your baby will enjoy two sessions: 

  • one-hour sensory social session – relaxed and playful, with each session including time to connect with other parents over tea and coffee
  • one-hour gallery session – exploring the Museum’s collections through short, informal talks for adults and sensory play inspired by the collection for your baby.

Sessions are on a Wednesday and you can choose between a morning, lunchtime or afternoon timeslot to suit your family's routine: 

10.15–11.15am OR 12am–1pm OR 2.30–3.30pm.

The cost of a three-month Season Ticket is £37.

Please note your ticket entitles you to a one-monthly social session and one-monthly gallery session for each of the three months of the season.

The Summer Season is SOLD OUT. Please note there is extremely high demand for these sessions.
