“If St Luke’s and Travelling Light weren’t running this holiday club, he wouldn’t have space to run and play. He gets to be a child, he has freedom to be himself.”

About Us
We ‘travel light’ taking theatre to where children are, especially aiming to reach families who would not otherwise have the opportunity to experience theatre.
We've been inspiring the imaginations of families for over 40 years, reaching 1.25 million people in that time. We've won numerous awards for our work, including the Fantastic for Families Best Family Arts Activity in 2024 for our community tour of our show Igloo.
