Young Company Festival

Our Young Company invites you to a bold and brilliant celebration of creativity, leadership, and fresh new ideas! 

This dynamic festival features two powerful shows that showcase the incredible talents of our young performers and mark the grand finale of a year bursting with imagination, collaboration, and unforgettable storytelling.

Experience the magic of our Children’s Theatre production 'Every Page' and feel the energy of the Young Company’s electrifying show 'Playlist'. 

Two shows. One unmissable festival!

To give every young performer time to shine, we carefully scheduled rehearsals for each group:

Children’s Theatre A (CTA) rehearsed every Monday

Children’s Theatre B (CTB) rehearsed every Tuesday

This consistent rehearsal schedule gave each group the time and space to build confidence, learn their roles, and create something truly special. The performance groups and show dates reflect this schedule, so you'll know exactly when your child is on stage.

Come celebrate their hard work!

The work of the Young Company is always youth led and always developing, and our young people want as wide an audience as possible to come and see their work, so tickets for their performances are priced as Pay What You Want.

Tickets start from £5. If you want to pay over the suggested price, please feel free to do so. If, after you've seen the piece, you want to pay more please see our front of house team who will direct you to a pay point to make a donation to Chickenshed

With a focus on youth leadership and guidance, the Young Company ensures that every voice is heard and valued, creating a space for exploration, discovery, and personal growth.
