Join us for a special five-week summer drama club for children aged 12 and under.
Each weekly session will explore a different aspect of theatre, combining creativity, teamwork, and fun. In each session, your child will develop their:
Confidence
Resilience
Leadership skills
Creativity and imagination
Activities across the five weeks will include:
Story and character creation
Physical theatre
Puppet making
Improvisation
(Age appropriate!) Stage combat
No need to worry about missing sessions due to other holiday commitments – children are welcome to attend as many or as few sessions as they like.
For Parents and Carers
Children must be supervised by an adult during the sessions. While your child takes part, you are welcome to grab a drink from our cafe bar, catch up on work in our seating area (we have free Wi-Fi!), or just pop ya feet up and relax!
Age Guidance:Suitable for ages 5 – 12. If your child is keen and falls outside this bracket, get in touch anyway to see what we can do. Likewise, we have free activities (lego, loose parts, dress up) available for younger children to enjoy!
If your circumstances mean that you are unable to afford the workshops, we have a limited number of free child tickets available. You can see this option when you click through to book.
