Breast-Feeding at SIRF

SIRF is proudly a breastfeeding friendly festival and we're very excited that this year's festival falls during World Breastfeeding Week!

Our whole site is breastfeeding friendly and we will have an additional pagoda open from 1pm to 7pm daily at the Riverside for a comfortable sheltered space to breastfeed in throughout the festival. What3words location: storeroom.lows.reaction

Stockton's Infant Feeding team will also be on site from 12pm to 1pm on Sunday 2 August, with advice and helpful tips on breastfeeding before taking part in the SIRF Community Carnival with their Stockton Breastfeeding Group at 2pm.
