Welcome to Travelling Light.

We have been creating theatre for young audiences since 1984 and we'll be celebrating our 30th anniversary in 2014.  We have grown from a small company of two people taking their shows into schools with the set lashed to the top of the car, to a company that is highly regarded locally, nationally and internationally for producing excellent theatre for young audiences.

Our success has come from our firm conviction that every child has the right to engage in creative activities.  To create work that really engages children, we need to know our audience.  We take time to research what we are going to do and who we are doing it for, firmly placing children at the heart of all our work.

  • The company's base is in Bristol

  • and we tour our shows to local schools as well as to theatres and festivals throughout the UK

  • we also work with children and young people through a range of participatory work 

  • and run three thriving youth theatre groups as well as an annual summer school
