Brilliant baby activities in Durham for every family

Everyone expects you to enjoy every moment of new parenthood, but the truth is that the early weeks and months with a baby can be pretty lonely, and even – dare we say it – boring.

If you’re looking for things to do with your little one, our guide to baby activities in Durham is the place to start.

There are heaps of things for new families to do in the area, such as baby sensory groups, music and movement sessions, and messy play classes – all designed to stimulate your baby and give their development a boost.

Energetic little ones are well catered for, too, with activities from baby yoga to mini gymnastics.

And if you’re just looking for somewhere to have a cup of tea and a chat with other new parents, search our listings for details of local drop-in parent and child groups. There’s something for every age and stage.
