Our experience with these concerts during covid times was very disappointing. The venue (a long church lined with pews) didn't allow our little one to see anything from the pew we were sat in. Children were allowed to move around but there wasn't enough room to approach the stage without breaking the distancing rules, so there's not much hope of seeing the music unless you get there early enough for a front row seat.Overall the experience for most of the kids was just like sitting in a church service -- some music and talking going on in the distance that they can't see or necessarily hear terribly well, most stay in the pews with some toddlers exploring the aisles and the back of the church.The concert was quite short (felt like 30mins?), a few brief piano pieces played on an old church piano some distance away, without much of a programme specified in advance. Fair enough it is primarily for the babies and toddlers who have short attention spans, and for £5 a ticket in a venue where they could see what's going on I wouldn't be complaining.At £15 for a (non-refundable!) ticket though, this feels like a cynical cash-grab from middle-class parents desperate for some enriching activities after months of lockdown. Based on previous good reviews I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that they just haven't fully thought through how much the covid restrictions would affect people's experience. But would definitely advise to steer clear until the covid restrictions are lifted, and pay close attention to the choice of venue and the programme before paying for tickets.
