Summer Holiday Club (Age 7-10)

Summer Holiday Club!

The Norwich Theatre Summer Holiday Club! is a five-day theatre-making programme for young people, split into two age groups (7–10 and 11–13). Across the week, participants will explore the theme of Courage and Bravery, building confidence, creativity and teamwork through a fun, friendly and inclusive mix of drama, movement, design and technical theatre.

Each day includes warm-ups, skill-building sessions and a 60-minute masterclass led by theatre practitioners, with plenty of breaks, outdoor reset time and choice-based activities (including journalling and craft options). The week ends with a relaxed, low-pressure sharing for families that celebrates creative exploration, whether participants prefer to perform, showcase designs or display their journals and theatre-making.
