Parents & Children
Everyone is welcome @ TILT
At TILT Festival we are committed to providing opportunities for parents to train on the festival programme, whilst having something for the young ones to do.
Our Director, Kim, has undertaken much research into the teachings of The Curiosity Approach and the benefits of Risky Play on brain development. The Curiosity Approach is an original approach to play that encourages children to explore their curiosity and improvise, much like the adults do in the air. Our children's area is based on this approach, specifically developed for toddlers and young children, it is a small explorative playground of building, digging, cooking and making. We have a play leader to supervise and inspire creative play whilst parents train in the classes. The play space is inside WMCC (the main indoor training space), so you will be the in the same room. We also have a baby change, toys and swinging chairs for the tiny ones, so babies are very welcome at the Festival. Just let us know if you're bringing a young one.
PARENT & CHILD AERIAL
SATURDAY 6TH AUGUST:
3.30pm-4.30pm
Happening straight after the lovely Fairy Dust Party family disco finale, parent and child aerial is for all those with children 0-5yrs and their parents, carers and families.
Risky Play has endless benefits for children and parents alike, challenging young ones to push their limits, explore their bodies and take risks in a safe environment. TILT's Risky Play Aerial sessions explore the elements of height and speed in particular. A workout for adults and a wonderful aerial experience for parents, guardians, carers and children 0-5yrs. Great for building children's confidence, contributing to cognitive development and a lovely way to meet like-minded parents.
The training space is filled with all kinds of physically challenging equipment and the highly experienced teacher leads you safely through ideas and tricks to try.
Our café is open for coffee after the session and this event finishes just before the champagne reception if you fancy a tipple on us after or a chinwag with a nice frothy coffee!
All welcome, no experience needed, families welcome, BOOKING ESSENTIAL.
