The Journey to Neverland

The Journey to Neverland: Junior Cast Workshops

Take your first step to Neverland.

We’re inviting young people to join one of a series of workshops inspired by our 2026 pantomime, The All New Adventures of Peter Pan. These sessions introduce participants to a professional rehearsal room—building confidence, creativity, and performance skills in a fun, supportive environment.

Following their first session, participants may be invited to:

• Recall workshops (2 half-days between 24-27 August)
• Final auditions (September)
• Junior Panto Day (October half term)
• Join the Junior Cast as The Lost Children

Workshop Overview

• Led by professional theatre-makers
• Explore acting, movement, and choreography

Up to 300 participants will take part, with around 120 invited back and 24 cast in the final production.
