Introducing the Blue Almonds Events Series — Supporting Parents & Parents-to-Be in 2026
At Blue Almonds, our mission has always been to make the parenting journey feel more effortless — or at least as effortless as it can be. As our founder Izabela so beautifully puts it:
“My vision is to help mothers-to-be and new mothers successfully navigate the plethora of information available when it comes to preparing for and looking after a new baby.”
With that in mind, we’re delighted to introduce something new for 2026: a curated series of free, expert-led events designed to support parents and parents-to-be through every stage of early parenthood.
Hosted in our South Kensington boutique, each event will offer trusted guidance from leading industry specialists — from lactation consultants and sleep experts, to Norland Nannies and Hypnobirthing experts. Our aim is simple: to bring clarity, confidence and connection to your journey as you prepare for life with a little one.
Every event will be held in-store, with a warm welcome, light refreshments, and plenty of opportunity to ask questions. Whether you’re expecting your first baby or navigating those early weeks and months, we hope these gatherings will become a helpful and inspiring part of your year.
Below, you’ll find the schedule of upcoming events. We’ll be updating this page regularly, so do check back — and make sure you’re signed up to our emails for first access to bookings.
We can’t wait to welcome you.
