Hey Southwark dads 👋 - a FREE gift for you 🤍

Becoming a dad can change everything: how you see yourself, your relationships, your priorities and your place in the family.

And while so much attention naturally focuses on mum and baby, dads can find themselves concentrating on looking after everyone else while quietly trying to work out this enormous new role for themselves.

Breathe Melodies for Dads is a space made with dads in mind.

For eight Saturday mornings, you and your baby can spend time together through relaxed, creative music-making, meet other dads at the same stage of life and have an hour where nobody expects you to have fatherhood figured out.

You don’t need any musical experience, and there’s no pressure to sing perfectly or perform. The sessions are relaxed, creative and designed to be enjoyed together with your baby.

📍 Rye Oak Children & Family Centre, Peckham
📅 Saturdays, 26 September - 14 November 2026, 10–11am
👶 For dads with babies aged 0–12 months
🎵 Free to attend

We had two very special visitors at Breathe Magic Camp today! ✨

Our wonderful Breathe Ambassadors, and , came along to meet our Young Magicians and share a little performance wisdom ahead of tomorrow’s BIG Magic Show. 🎩🪄

Imelda reminded them that those butterflies before stepping on stage aren’t something to fear, nerves and excitement are really just different versions of the same thing. It’s energy, ready to be turned into something magical.

Coming live from Magic Camp...

It's day four of the Breathe Magic Intensive Therapy Programme, and we are speechless. The young magicians are performing with such confidence, skill and determination. The atmosphere is electric, and seeing just how far they've come in only a few days is something super special.

Watching Magicians from The Magic Circle inspire the next generation of magicians is a real privilege. Their encouragement, expertise and infectious love of magic are helping these young performers achieve things they never thought possible 🤍

And thank you to the amazing Sea Containers London team for always being so awesome!

A room full of new dads, a bunch of babies, and zero pressure

Becoming a dad is wonderful and sometimes a lot. Support for new fathers often gets overlooked, but you deserve it too.

Breathe Melodies for Dads is a free music-making and group created for new dads and their babies. Making music together can ease stress and deepen that parent-baby bond and it feels really good.

No musical experience required and no performing, it’s a relaxed, judgement-free space to connect with your baby, meet other local dads and look after yourself too.

Free sessions run on Saturdays from 26 September to 14 November 2026 in Peckham (SE15 3PD), for dads with babies aged 0–12 months.

Places are limited, register now to join us.
