Events and entertainment website Derby Days Out has signed up to an initiative that aims to promote family friendly experiences.

It has signed up to the Family Arts Standards to show its commitment to promoting arts and cultural venues, which value families and want to provide a good visitor experience.

Partners in the Derby network include QUAD, Derby Museums, Derby LIVE, Sinfonia Viva, Artcore, Déda, Derby Theatre and Baby People.

The Family Arts Standards were introduced by the Family Arts Campaign and Childcare Trust to encourage more families to enjoy arts experiences.

The standards help families know what to expect from an arts organisation that displays the Family Arts Standards logo and provide guidance for arts organisations on key things they should be providing for families.

Sarah Bulmer, managing director at Derby Days Out, said: “Not all events will be suitable for every family but by displaying the Family Arts Standards logo on our listings means we can now highlight events and activities that meet a particular set of guidelines offering benefits to both venues and families.

“By signing up to the Family Arts Standards you can make sure your organisation and events are designed for all family members to enjoy together.”
