Theatre is a fantastic way to get your little ones interested in the arts, from finding the funny in hilarious performances to being amazed by costume and set design. Inspire their imaginations, and allow them to adventure to new worlds, empathise with different characters and find awe in the magic of performance. From Autumn this year to Spring next year, we have plenty of theatre and performances for families.
