For safety reasons buggies and prams are not permitted in the main seating area.
Parents may leave these in the designated Pram Park located in the main entrance foyer.
Parents may however bring baby carrier seats if they wish. As you can appreciate this
department can be very busy at peak times, so your patience is greatly appreciated.
Parents are encouraged to check their prams and pushchairs for valuable items such as
phones, tablets or wallets and any essential care items for their children BEFORE leaving
their prams/pushchairs for storage.
A section has been set aside for parents with infant children to provide a facility for
feeding (including breast feeding) and or/changing, which can be located to the right of
the platform. Room in this area is limited, so we kindly ask that once your child’s needs
have been cared for, you return to the main auditorium to allow room for other parents.
Parents may find it more convenient to sit nearer to this facility since no other area of the
Arena is designated for baby care.
Parents will need to bring their own supply of baby food, nappies, medication and other
supplies that may be needed. No provision will be made for these items in the mothers
and babies’ room.
Whilst microwaves and kettles will be available, the use of these will not be supervised by
volunteers. Extra planning may be required to ensure the associated risks are minimised,
please exercise care.
Due to limited space pushchairs and buggies are not permitted in the mothers and
babies’ room. They can however be left at the Lost and Found drop-off, which is located
at the end of the righthand corridor facing the platform. The mothers and babies’ room is
just a few metres further on.
We strongly encourage you to keep your young children with you at all times and always
accompany them to the toilet. If you become separated from your child, please report it to
an attendant immediately. You are advised to take a daily photograph of your child to help
the attendants quickly identify your child once found. Ensuring your contact details are
recorded on the reverse side of their lapel badge will greatly aid to a successful reunion.
