Hey everyone,
I’m still such a novice at doing things with my lil babe, he’s 7 months now.
Would bloom be a nice day out for him? He still hates the car so I dunno if it’s worth the journey (90 minutes) but I’d love to start bringing him places further afield.
Any tips? ��

personally I think bloom is quite an intense day out - if you really wanted to go yourself that's one thing but I wouldn't go for him

@dalablah92,
Yeah that’s why we are unsure. It was just mainly to have a browse and a picnic but we don’t know if it’s too much. We’d like to go as a family, I wouldn’t be bothered going by myself.

I’m heading to bloom today with my 7MO so I’ll let you know any tips later! I’ve been before when I was young free and single and it’s definitely a family friendly festival, plenty to look at and there’s music etc not just garden related things. The weather should be nice too! My only concern is the changing facilities so I’ll report back later but I’m certain they’ll have a good set up.

@ClaireD1234,
Oh you’re so good thanks a million, I’d really appreciate that. We just wanted to go as a little family and have a picnic and a wonder, he loves people watching so I thought he’d love it, but just unsure �� hope you have a great day ��

Someone I know went with their 1 month old yesterday! Kaleidoscope festival is on next month and that’s meant to be great for families.

@littlemoos,
it’s a great lineup. I’d love to go but it’s the day after we get back from holiday

Bloom is more of a trade show now than a flower festival so lots of stalls and food trucks with a few display areas. I went last year with my mam and the place was wedged with young families, I felt so guilty not bringing my 2 along �� Definitely buggy friendly but very very busy. There’s like a main green area with a stage and lots of kids running around etc

@littlemoos,
We went last year but as a couple with our in laws and loved it. We said we’d go back with baby but now the time has come we don’t know if we should. Eek decisions. Were your kids toddlers at the time? Would you have brought if you had a baby?

I went with a newborn last year and it was wedged, very tough navigating a pram through the crowds. Went back in with him in a carrier and it was much easier. He is now one and thought about bringing him this year but decided against it and its just too busy to get a proper look at anything with a pram (cant get close to show gardens in the crowd) and he just wants to be out running around so we'd be limited to the kids area.
I cant get over how busy it has gotten in the last few years. They really cram people in.

@VSER19,
Hmm ok really good points, especially getting close with the pram. Even last year it was hard enough to get close without a pram ��
