Dorset Bump to Baby Show

I wasn't sure what to expect when I went to Dorset Bump to Baby Show but I am so glad that I booked tickets! There were so many things to learn, I met loads of helpful people and businesses. There was a large variety of stalls, all offering different services and professional advice. My husband and I felt that everyone was friendly and informative and we didn't realise how much was out there for the expectant parents and new born babies! We both enjoyed the whole experience and look forward to next year! – Isobel Dade

Dorset Bump to Baby Show | Bournemouth | Dorset's only one-day pregnancy, birth and baby event!

As parents ourselves we understand what it takes to raise a child and how important it is to have the right people around you when life gets tough AND to enjoy the good times with.

At the very heart of Dorset Bump to Baby Show is our passion for helping new and expectant parents to find their village. We pride ourselves on only working with businesses and service providers who we trust and believe in. In fact, many of the exhibitors form part of our own 'mum village'!

Bournemouth Pavilion Theatre will be the place to be on Saturday 30 March 2019 as this wonderful venue provides the perfect setting for Dorset Bump to Baby Show 2019
