Welcome to Kids Week 2010!
Kids Week is now in its 13th year and is back with another action-packed fortnight of theatrical fun from 13-27 August. And the most important thing to remember is: children go for free!
Children aged 5-16 years old can see an awesome selection of shows for free, as long as they are accompanied by an adult paying full price. You can also purchase up to two extra children’s tickets at half price.
And, on top of that, they can take part in the many incredible show-linked activities or workshops on offer!
Tickets went on sale on 13th July so make sure you get your tickets now.
