An inspirational environment.

Budding thespians, dancers and musicians can take centre stage during the annual pantomime or one of the many other events and performances that take place throughout the year – you’ll even get the chance to devise original work. Theatre trips, masterclasses with industry professionals and workshops led by skilled practitioners will also inspire and challenge you.
