I'm a first time mum and would like to go to one of peckham multiplex's 'watch with baby' screenings.

I was just wondering what the etiquette with those was? Do you leave the auditorium if your baby starts crying/screaming and go back in once they've stopped? Or is a little crying ok but screaming not?

Any advice welcome!

I haven't been to Peckham Plex but I have been to the Big Scream at Brixton Ritzy's.

I found that just taking my little one to the back of the auditorium where I could easily stand and do the requisite swaying and rocking did the trick so that I could then go and sit back down.


Definitely go - I wish I'd gone more in the early days when Hamish slept for ever!

Thinking about it you could right, though I never seem to recall having trouble hearing even over the babies screams

I went a lot and remember hardly any crying at all... Lots of rocking/slinging at the back and obviously some background noise which I totally tuned out, but genuinely seemed to relax the babies one way or the other when I was there. Happy days indeed and sad I won't be able to do it with number two!

I used to put down a blanket in the aisle and sit on the floor. I suppose it wasn't very fire safe friendly, but no one seemed to care and I would spread out maybe toys/spit cloths on it and snacks/tea for me. Yes, it went in the wash straight after :)


At the Plex you cannot go in unless you are with your child so anyone you may feel you are disturbing are in the same boat as you. Go and have fun, I miss it and wish I had gone more.

totally no etiquette - the whole point is that you can try and watch a film with baby without thinking twice about your baby crying/pooing/cooing etc, because everyone else there is doing the same. You might not take in the whole film but at least you'll feel like you're out the house doing something adult! enjoy x

    • Miranda Sawyer of the (once) Observer has done a piece on festival on Insta which might be of-interest.  Councils are private companies, imo. They make money for themselves, imo.  I do not think by law that they have to follow anything brought up by a consultation, this is for 'face' only - hence, LTNs and everything else.  
    • My understanding is the "free event" is 100% Gala, nothing to do with the council. Obviously Gala will still make money from the food & drink that they are trying to coerce punters into buying on their social media posts. Their costs will be negligible due to already having the infrastructure in place for Gala. So Gala are trying to appear community minded by providing this "free event", but the real goal is to set a precedent for a fourth day's festival - which surely no one could possibly object to?!? - in preparation for applying (again) for two three-day festivals spread over two weekends. It's only another two days, right, and the site & equipment is already there, so why would anyone object?!? More money for the council, much more money for Gala, win-win right? But yet another week of our park taken away from us, too, and another 18,000 people trampling & littering the park, and another week of disturbance for the native birds & wildlife...
    • Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.
