Parents and carers in Norwich can now book places for a series of summer holiday activities for children at Norwich Theatre. The programme includes free creative workshops throughout August and a five-day theatre-making holiday club, with organisers aiming to support local families during the school break.
The Imagination Fuel workshops are free to attend and take place every Friday in August at the Norwich Theatre Royal Long Bar. Designed for children aged 6 to 10 and their grown-ups, these sessions run from 11am to 12pm on 7, 14, 21, and 28 August 2026. A free lunch is included with each session. Pre-booking is essential for these workshops as spaces are limited.
For those interested in a more immersive experience, the theatre is hosting a Summer Holiday Club at Stage Two from Monday 17 August to Friday 21 August 2026. The programme is open to two age groups, 7 to 10 and 11 to 13, and is priced at £180 per child for the week. Participants will engage in drama, movement, design, and technical theatre to explore the themes of courage and bravery. The club runs daily from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm.
Sam Beal, Head of Creative Engagement at Norwich Theatre, said: “Summer at Norwich Theatre is all about creative fun. This is why this August we are supporting families and removing the pressure by providing a creative space that sparks the imagination.”
These activities are part of the theatre’s wider Creative Families initiative, which focuses on providing accessible and affordable arts opportunities. Due to high demand for these sessions, families are encouraged to book in advance.
