Mums & Bubs weekly gathering

Looking for a welcoming, supportive space to connect with other local mothers?

Join us each week for Mums & Bubs, hosted by the Newcastle Birth Movement in Warners Bay. Inspired by the tradition of the village, where mothers gather, wisdom swap and hold space for one another. This is a cosy, consistent place to land. Whether you’re navigating the early newborn days or chasing a baby who is on the move, you are invited to rest, feel seen and build genuine friendships.

What You'll Experience:

· A Place for Little Explorers: Plenty of mats and toys for non movers, plus full access to a spacious indoor hall secured with baby gates and a fully fenced outdoor courtyard, so you can relax while you’re moving baby explorers.

· Nourishment for Mum: Enjoy a hot cuppa alongside a light morning tea every week.

· Monthly Wednesday Waffles: Open, mother-to-mother chat days to share current triumphs, real challenges and helpful wisdom swap on whatever stage you’re navigating.

· Guest Speakers: Regular visits from local professionals sharing practical wisdom to help guide you through motherhood and life with a baby.

· Term 4 Special Outings: Term 4 includes two bonus outings built into the price: a 'Babies in Arms' cinema session and a festive Christmas Morning Tea (location TBA).
