Baby Cafe, Wednesday 28th Aug
From 14:00 to 16:00. Add this to your calendar:
Baby Café is an informal meeting place for parents, grandparents and carers of babies and toddlers. It is held at the United Church Hall, Bradley Street, W.U.E on the 4th Wednesday afternoon of every month from 2.00pm – 4.00pm. The tea and homemade cake is very much appreciated and the helpers who are nearly all grandmas like to feel that they are offering a relaxing afternoon for the customers. At only £1 per session, with endless cups of tea in the comfortable and warm surroundings of the United Church Hall, Baby Café is often referred to as ‘the best place to meet’
