Groove Baby brings live music back to parents

Parents who once planned their weekends around gigs may feel that live music slipped quietly out of reach after having children. Groove Baby is here to change that, offering a joyful, baby-friendly concert experience that feels just as much for adults as it does for little ones.

Created specifically for parents who miss the buzz of live performance, Groove Baby blends jazz, funk and playful visuals into an interactive show designed for curious ears and wiggly bodies. The musicians perform live, encouraging families to dance, clap and explore sound together, while gentle animation adds an extra layer of wonder for young audiences.

The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, with no expectation that children sit still or stay silent. Instead, the space becomes one where babies can respond naturally to rhythm and melody, often kickstarting a genuine love of music from an early age. For parents, it is a rare chance to enjoy high-quality live music without worrying about shushing or stepping out.

Groove Baby takes place at Lyric Hammersmith Theatre on 24 January and is suitable for children aged 0 to 4 years. Tickets cost £12, making it an accessible cultural outing at a time of year when many families are keen to get back out after winter hibernation.
