Age suitability 5-12 years

​Price £65 per day (Get £15 off if you bring a sibling or friend)

Book for the whole week and get 10% discount £338 per week

What will the week schedule look like? 

Your child will be welcomed and introduced to our wonderful art and drama teachers. They will begin the day with a guided ‘set the scene monologue’ immersing them into an imaginary world of  mythical and magical creatures.

Creating a story together, they will learn a variation of techniques through our step by step teaching method, exploring materials and bringing characters and scenery to life.

The week will be filled with art techniques, prop design, puppets and acting lessons through improvisation. There will be a chance for parents to enjoy what their children have learned, see the incredible work that’s been produced and narratives that have been written.

How many classes should I book my child in for? 

We recommend to book for the week to get the most out of the workshops, however if your only able to come for less, then your child will still experience and learn an incredible amount, taking art home with them. There is a minimum of 2 days booking required.

What if my child is very shy and doesn’t want to take part in the drama activities? 

We always want our students to feel as comfortable and creative as possible, meaning we never make them participate if they don’t want to, there are many other aspects that they can learn and excel in.

What should my child bring with them? 

We provide all materials and equipment. Please bring a packed lunch, snack, messy clothes, sensible shoes and a huge spoonful of creativity.

JKL-Jazz plays instrumental jazz and Latin standards interspersed with songs from guest vocalists.

Arena Theatre is proud to present Edward Albee’s Tony Award-winning modern masterpiece,The Goat (or Who is Sylvia?). From the acclaimed writer of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, this is a wickedly funny tale of a family torn apart when mild-mannered architect Martin falls for the charms of the mysterious Sylvia.

Peppered with word play and Albee’s signature wit, this is a Greek tragedy for the modern era, that will leave audiences questioning their own morality in the wake of a series of hilarious catastrophes, all brought about by the allure of a seemingly innocent farmyard animal.
