What's on for families

A hands-on, interactive festival of learning for children aged 0 to 10 and the parents, carers and nannies who bring them. Hosted by Happy Families with Times Square Center.

  • Learning through doing: activities designed to spark curiosity, creativity and discovery. Children experience, explore, create and play.
  • Family-focused brands to meet: demonstrations, games, mini activities, creative stations and giveaways.
  • Mini Entrepreneurs: children running their very own stall, selling their own product alongside real vendors, in a real mall.
  • Catwalk of Confidence: children can dance, sing and boogie down the catwalk.
  • On the stage: welcomes from Principal Lisa, demonstrations and a big giveaway.
  • The Happy Families Magazine: pick up your copy to take home.
  • Free entry, free coffee and free parking.

What brands, nurseries and schools say

The atmosphere, the quality of attendees, and the way everything was brought together felt very genuine… it's great to be in front of the right audience in such a natural and trusted setting.
Kelly, Director, Belgravia Healthcare
I genuinely don't think it could have gone much better. Lisa included everyone attending, it was very upbeat and positive and the talk I heard from people attending was all positive.
Blossom Nurseries
The event overall was really good and well organised. We thoroughly enjoyed it, and we got a few leads too, which is a super bonus!
Paddington E.C.C.
