WELCOME TO BABY WEEK
BRADFORD
Baby Week Bradford takes place between 14 – 20 November and began in 2018, inspired by our neighbours at Baby Week Leeds and Semana Do Bebe Brazil. We’d love families and organisations to get involved, add your events below or contact our team to find out more.
Baby Week Bradford is coordinated by Bradford Council’s Public Health team on behalf of the district. We work in partnership with Better Start Better Futures, Bradford Children and Families Trust, and a wide range of wonderful voluntary and community organisations that support families every day.
With lots of fun events, activities and helpful resources, Baby Week Bradford brings together everything available for expectant parents and families with babies and toddlers across the district. It’s a chance to celebrate babies, enjoy special moments together, and connect with local support. Alongside the celebrations, we want Baby Week Bradford to help raise awareness about how important the early years are in giving every child the best start in life.

10,000 attendees
Over the last decade, Baby Week UK has expanded across England, helping thousands of parents, carers, professionals, and community members connect, learn, and access support. By showcasing free and low-cost services, activities, and opportunities, Baby Week aims to reduce barriers and improve awareness of the support available for families with children under five. Here are just a few reflections from attendees on the difference Baby Week has made.
“Baby week is an absolutely fantastic initiative in out city it bought together professionals from across the sector and gave families time to chat, learn and share their experiences of parenthood. Over 200 attendees at one of our launch event and using a city centre location and offering lots of activities for the age range (0-5) worked well.”
