A night out in the day for parents

Music | Comedy | Theatre

Daylight Sessions are daytime gigs where you can bring your kids - no babysitter needed! This is a revolution art programme daytime music and comedy gigs, theatre shows, poetry, dance and author talks, all designed for sleep deprived parents. The shows are all grown up but kids are welcome too.”

-Lizzy Humber, Mother of two humans and Founder Daylight Sessions

“Daylight Sessions are perfect for anyone who feels stuck at home and has forgotten who they are. Having a small person means that often you’re excluded, but I’ve been given real respect for myself by interacting with Lizzy’s work. I do matter. My children matter and I’m allowed to take up space.” 

Emma Forrest, parent of three
