Date: Saturday 6th from 2pm-9pm
Address: Regent Street, London

4. Baby Broadway
Baby Broadway is a lively, interactive family concert — perfect for little kids (roughly ages 0–7) — where West End singers perform songs from popular musicals and films while children and grown-ups sing, dance, clap, and join in bubbles, puppets and movement. With a couple of shows around London this weekend, jump on board for a gentle, short show (about 45 mins) — ideal if you want a fun, low-intensity outing with toddlers who might struggle with a full theatre show.
