Browse the siteWelcome! From bumps to teens we have it covered.
This is your one-stop site for everything you need to know about living in Luton with children.
Hi, I’m Maria and I run the Mum's Guide to Luton website and social media. I live in Luton with my husband, our 2-year-old daughter and 3 cats!
I love getting out and about with my family and friends, either to classes and playgroups, local attractions and events or local walks in the park so I hope I’ll have a lot to offer in terms of great things to do in and around Luton. I also love a bit of planning and organisation so am always looking for what's on in the area and finding new places to visit.
As a first-time mum, clueless about where to find any local play groups or places to take my daughter as she was getting more mobile, I found the Mum's Guide to Hitchin Instagram and Facebook pages a lifesaver. So when we moved back to Luton in 2023 I wanted to be able to give something back, and hopefully be able to help others struggling to find things to do with the little ones! I know how important it is, particularly as a new parent to find things to do, not only for your children, but for you to socialise too.
My goal is to provide a website and social pages packed with so much local information for families, that you really don’t need to look elsewhere. I know how busy life is as a parent, and I’m hoping to take the hard work out of finding great things for you to do for quality family time together.
I will continue to update the website with new business listings and events as they get announced, so be sure to bookmark the website address to your browser. I will also still be posting lots on social media so if you aren't already following give me a follow on Facebook and Instagram.
Please help me spread the word about Mum's guide to Luton as I would love to help as many families in the area as possible!
If you have any recommendations for the website or run a local business and would like to be involved in the site or want to list your an event, please do get in touch through my social media channels, list your business for FREE here or e-mail [email protected].
And do say hi if you see us out and about!
