Pop Up Here

There will be music, art, sports, circus acts, pop up spa and more at the fun family sessions running at New Bailey over the summer. Pop-Up Here has activities throughout the week from 7am to 9am, 12pm to 2pm and 4pm to 6pm, as well as from 10am to 4pm on Saturdays. The idea is to offer a fun and healthy way to keep the kids (and parents) entertained, off their phones and out of their rooms. So if you want to go along and show off your moves with your dance troupe, sing along with the pop-up piano, have a day filled with laughter with the comedy or show off your juggling skills, then head over between now and the end of August.
