Children in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, can take part in a three-day musical theatre workshop based on Mary Poppins during the upcoming Easter school holidays. Organised by Dramacube (Dramacube Productions), the sessions will run from 30 March 2026 to 1 April 2026 and are aimed at two age groups: 5–7 and 8–12 years.
The event takes place at the Cecil Hepworth Playhouse, a historic community venue on Hurst Grove in Walton-on-Thames. The workshop provides local families with supervised holiday childcare that focuses on creative skills such as singing, acting and dancing, offering professional-level performing-arts instruction in the community-run Playhouse.
According to Surrey County Council term dates, these dates fall in the first week of the Surrey Easter school holidays (Surrey lists the Easter break for 2026 as 30 March–10 April). Children will be split into the two age groups to learn songs and choreography, with the programme culminating in a short performance for parents and family members on the final afternoon.
The Playhouse is an important local site that was formerly part of the Hepworth film studios, and Elmbridge Borough Council and local campaigners have previously highlighted its significance as a community asset. Studio spaces at the Playhouse have limited capacity (the background dossier notes studio rooms typically accommodate roughly 30 children), so parents are advised to book early to secure places.
