Hi, I’m Laura 💙💛

I thought it was about time I re-introduced myself properly — especially if you’re new here.

I’m the face behind The Baby Fayre Derbyshire & Notts, a mum of 3, and someone who is really passionate about supporting small businesses and creating a community for parents.

A few little facts about me 👇

🍫 I’m team hot chocolate (coffee isn’t for me!)
🎉 I’m a New Year’s Day baby
🍝 Pasta is a weekly staple in our house
💼 I used to work in pensions and had my own indie shop before starting this
😂 And like most parents… I’m just figuring it all out as I go

The Baby Fayre is more than just events to me — it’s about creating spaces where parents feel supported and small businesses can thrive 💛

If you’re new here, I’d love to know — tell me a little about you 👇
