TimbaTime Storytime

Part of Spring Into Action (3-19 April 2026), two weeks of free, nature-themed events and opportunities to be active, creative and celebrate the return of Baltic's beloved wild residents and Spring in all its glory.

This special seasonal story led by TimbaDash Theatre explores the excitement, surprise and wonder of Spring, brought to life through sensory play, storytelling, Makaton and music.

Our 11:00 Relaxed Session is designed for children and families who would appreciate a calmer, quieter, and more relaxed setting.

Sessions will last 45 minutes-1 hour.

Please note: Herbs (Rosemary, Thyme, Basil and Mint) will be used during the session to create smell-based stimulus. If you have any concerns/allergies, please let us know when prompted during booking.

Please book one ticket per person attending e.g. a parent bringing two children should book three tickets in total.
