Bumpfest is back! We're thrilled to announce that our one-stop event about pregnancy, birth and beyond returns on Saturday 26 September - and it’s bigger and better than ever. Whether you’re an expectant first-time mum or dad-to-be, or just feel a bit rusty since having your last baby, Bumpfest has the low-down on all that’s in store.
Our brilliant speakers, including sleep expert Andrea Grace and psychologist Penelope Leach, will make sure you’re equipped with the essential skills for life with a newborn. From breast- and bottle-feeding to sleep tricks that really work, right through to picking out a pram and mastering those tricky baby-sling techniques - Bumpfest has it covered. Have a look at the full programme to find out what's on.
Some of our very own MNers will be coming along with their new babies to chat about any birth- and baby-related conundrums you might be grappling with - and our demo area will give you vital hands-on experience of changing nappies, bathing a slippery newborn, positioning a breastfeeding baby and more.
Tickets are valid for the entire day, so you can dip in and out of the sessions or stay for the duration - whatever suits you best. As well as delicious pregnancy-friendly grub (served all day!), comfy seats and plenty of loos
, you can grab a shoulder massage or a manicure, and rifle through the rails in our maternity style section. Plus you’ll leave with a fantastic goody bag bulging with lovely stuff for you and your newborn.
Tickets are £35 each, or a bargainous £60 for two - so bring your bump, your partner, a friend, or the soon-to-be doting grandparents - all are welcome! Book now, tell ALL your pregnant friends via Facebook or Twitter using the share buttons on this page, and we’ll see you there!
