Your insider guide to the best of Tunbridge Wells

9 local events taking place this week!

Check out a fantastically varied line-up of local events to attend this week, from essential fund-raising to help save Baby Cafe to musical fun with the little ones to a more grown-up affair at a cocktail workshop. Plus a parenting talk on keeping our children safe online. Hopefully something for everyone!

♥    The Baby Café has been invaluable in supporting many local families with free non-judgemental, specialist breastfeeding support every week at The Christ Church on the High Street, but it needs our help! This Monday (23rd September) everyone is invited between 11am and 2pm for “Save Our Baby Café”. Baby and toddler fun include live interactive music, a free pre-bookable Baby Boogie taster, bake sale and raffle.

♥    All about the boys is ‘Keeping Our Children Safe Online’ at this very relevant parenting talk at the EMF Theatre, Tonbridge on Monday 23rd September at 7.30pm. Primary and secondary school age children are growing up in a fast-evolving digital age which can leave parents in the dark about potential dangers, so an Online Safety Social Media Consultant  will help parents recognise and control risk. Get your tickets (£12 each) HERE!!
