Sling Library Sessions
Try slings & make new friends
Central Lancashire Slings operates friendly weekly sling library sessions at the Sling Studio in Leyland and various venues around Lancashire. No booking required – just turn up either for a fit-check of your own sling/carrier or get some simple advice before hiring from the sling library.
**For all Lancashire residents: From April until September 2026 we are hosting FREE sling advice and hire sessions from Chorley Duke Street, Burscough and Preston Ribbleton Family Hubs, as well as weekly from our Leyland studio. These are kindly funded by Lancashire Health Visiting & School Nursing. For dates and venues, scroll down.**
Please sign in when you arrive and create a free sling account before you come (this saves time on the day).
We also host weekly stay & play groups at the Sling Studio in Leyland on Monday & Friday afternoons from 12:30-2pm. These are £5 per family and do not require booking. All up to date info and times can be found on our Facebook or Instagram.
