Family
Theatre Day
University of Bristol Theatre students and Travelling Light Theatre Company offer fun and creative free workshops and performances for children aged 5 and over.
There will be two different sessions taking place: one from 10:30 - 11:30 and the next from 12:15 - 13:15.
From sunflowers and camping to live music performances, both sessions will feature a creatively exciting workshop as well as a performance given by the University students.
There is no need to reserve tickets, and you are more than welcome to attend both time slots or just the one.
There will be a quiet room and family members of all ages are more than welcome to come along. We can't wait to see you there.
Family Theatre Day is an annual event organised as part of our collaboration with the University of Bristol Theatre Department, providing students with opportunities to gain work experience creating performances and workshops for children and families in the community.
