Would you go to a parenting workshop on a Friday night?

[TheFoodTree]

Hi all,

My business partner and I are bringing our workshops to London (We're a small business from NZ) we run popular workshops here, and as need to go to the UK for a few family things, we thought we may as well try and run a few events to help keep things afloat financially while we have to travel!

We're having trouble finding a suitable venue. My absolute favourite (and somehow affordable) option is only available for a Friday evening during our time in London.

How likely would people be to come to a parenting workshop on a Friday night? Our topics are usually focused on fussy eating, mindfulness and stress management for parents with young children, promoting positive body image.

I think I probably know the answer- but London is a massive place, so wanted to check! Thanks in advance

What times would it be running?

Because if there was time for dinner/drinks out (making the most of getting a babysitter) then maybe.

Do bear in mind that there are many such workshops and parenting support events/classes in London already, so you'd need a good 'hook' to get people along at all (irrespective of time)

Our schools offers these kinds of workshops. I wouldn’t go on a Friday/weekend night.

Nope. On Friday night we’re either having a date night or collapsing on the sofa with a glass of wine. My babysitter would charge more for Fri/Sat too because she’s in higher demand.

No.

No. Wouldn't go to a 'Parenting Workshop'. Can't imagine what goes on there.

@Squirmofeels Thanks that is really helpful, we have opted for a different day.

@Bluerussian Workshops can provide people with access to a qualified registered professional to help them resolve something that is causing them stress or to provide evidence-based information on a topic they want to know more about. Usually, private access to that advice is prohibitively expensive, so its an affordable way for people to seek the support that they need. Others find it preferable to hear about a topic in person, rather than just reading about it in a book or on a website, particularly as it gives them a chance to speak directly with the person presenting. I understand if that is not your cup of tea or something you need right now. Thanks for your reply.

No.

Also, as someone pointed out, there are already lots of parenting support classes in London. Some of them are free
