Stand 476 For All Your Families Needs

This year at the Royal Cornwall Show the Cornish Real Nappy Project (CRNP) and Baby Information Bank (BiB) have joined forces to present an exciting new Family Marquee. The two organisations have designed a haven for parents, packed full of information, products and activities.

The marquee, located on stand 476 just inside the south entrance, will house a selection of some of the finest, family orientated businesses and services. Parents will be able to take advantage of a calm and comfortable breastfeeding area or try a relaxing head massage whilst their children enjoy the activity area, have their face painted or have a photo taken to remind them of their day at the Show.

The Cornish Real Nappy Project will be offering baby changing facilities with the option of trying out a washable nappy for free. In addition the marquee will be packed full of information and exciting products, particularly aimed at young families including clothing and shoes, nursery equipment, healthy food, homeopathic remedies, beachwear, gifts and more. Parents are encouraged to come along and take advantage of some of the amazing offers that will be available inside the marquee.

The marquee will provide a wealth of products and information that explores the world of parenting with a particular focus on “natural” or “green” parenting. The Family Marquee will be a first for the Royal Cornwall Show and Natacha from Baby Information Bank commented:

“The Royal Cornwall Show provides the ideal opportunity to showcase some of the brilliant businesses which are targeted at young families in Cornwall and the Family Marquee will build upon the excellent attractions and businesses which already attend the show.”

Rebecca Rapson, project manager for CRNP added: 

 “With public concerns for the environment growing, parents are particularly keen to learn a “greener” approach to parenting and this marquee will help them to gain access to organisations and businesses that can help them make simple sustainable changes to family life.”

CRNP are a regular exhibitor at the show and have enjoyed huge successes over the past year, including receiving a National award and launching a county wide loan scheme, the first of its kind in the country. They are extremely pleased to be working in partnership with the newly established Baby Information Bank, set up by two local mums, who offer an innovative online information bank for parents. Both organisations are looking forward to adding to the Royal Cornwall Show’s appeal with their inspiring marquee.
