Families in Northampton looking for summer activities for their children have until this Friday, 1 May 2026, to secure an early bird discount on holiday clubs at the Royal & Derngate.
The theatre is offering a reduced rate of £175 per child per week, providing a saving of £75 off the standard price of £250. These week-long, immersive sessions take place throughout August and are designed for children aged 4 to 13.
The programme includes three distinct themes. The KPOP club for ages 4 to 8 runs from 3 to 7 August. Jungle Safari Explorers, also for ages 4 to 8, and the Time Traveller Academy for ages 9 to 13, both take place from 10 to 14 August. Each session runs daily from 9am to 5pm.
For those interested in the autumn, the theatre has also released details for October half-term clubs. Mini Monsters for ages 4 to 8 and Cryptic Creatures for ages 9 to 13 are available for booking, with an early bird discount deadline of 1 July 2026. These sessions run from 26 to 29 October.
The venue, operated by the Northampton Theatres Trust, offers additional flexibility with bursaries available upon request. Families can also arrange for extended care, including early drop-off at 8.30am and late pick-up at 5.30pm, for a total cost of £50 across the five-day period.
