Children and Families

About our events

We host lots of events, activities and performances for children and families, enabling different generations to create, play and experience theatre together.

Every year we host Family Fiestas in the city centre and in Bemerton Heath, too. These mini festivals offer kids of all ages ways to experience creativity and performance arts – for free!

Our early years workshops build confidence and creativity through imaginative play. For older children we offer creative workshops in term-time, some weekends and school holidays: welcoming spaces to explore colourful crafts and make new friends.

Our vibrant youth theatre, Stage 65, welcomes young people from age 6 (Year 2) upwards – find out more here.

Looking for activities for teenagers? Discover our Youth Arts programme here.
