A visit to the theatre is a magical, memorable experience for young people – and we’d love to welcome your school through our doors.

Whether you're planning a class trip or would prefer us to come to you, we offer a range of creative opportunities to enrich learning and spark imagination.

We offer discounted education rates on many of our shows, helping you make the most of your school visit.

In addition to these rates, you will receive one free ticket for every 10 that you purchase.

Let us know what you need, and we’ll do our best to build a meaningful creative experience for your class.

Every year we offer a small group of students the rare opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of a live performance venue.

But our work experience week isn’t just about observing, students will be part of the action. From assisting with front-of-house duties and engaging with audiences, to shadowing our technical team backstage, students will gain hands-on experience in the fast-paced, creative environment of a professional theatre.

This is more than just work experience — it’s a chance to develop real-world skills in teamwork, communication, and problem-solving, all while exploring the many career paths the theatre industry has to offer.

For the 2025/2026 school year we will be offering work experience during the week of Monday 22 June until Friday 26 June.

We understand that schools may be asking students to undertake work experience during alternative weeks but due to staff capacity we cannot accommodate requests outside of the above dates.

Because of the huge number of requests we receive for work experience, we are asking students to do a short application which can be completed here.

Deadline for applications is Monday 30 November.

All applicants will be contacted by Mon 14 December to find out whether they have been allocated a spot.
