The UK’s leading professional children’s theatre, the Unicorn Theatre, last summer hosted two week-long workshops for children that sold out so quickly, that this year they're running six throughout both the easter and summer holidays.
For the mini thespians in the family, itching for more time in the spotlight after the school play is over, these intensive, week-long workshops at the Unicorn offer the chance to work in a professional theatre where children can learn everything from learning to perform a show to devising a play and working with the technical team to design a production. LEON lunches included in the price of week's tuition.

Mon 4 - Fri 8 April (10am-5pm Mon to Thur -- 11:30am-6:30pm Fri).
