YARD Young People's Theatre
YARD is a creative and supportive hub for children and young people to explore and develop drama and performance skills. We have two YARD groups for different ages, both of which run weekly during term time.
Tuesdays 4.15-6.15pm
The younger YARD group, aged 8-12 years, develop confidence, communication and creative skills through games, story-making, and drama exercises. As well as making new friends, they explore new ways to express themselves and share their own stories. Sessions are safe, fun and stimulate the senses!
"YARD makes me feel more confident, I love every minute of it." - Current Participant (9yrs)
Wednesdays, 5.15-7.15pm
The older YARD group, aged 12-18 years, develop performance skills, explore different styles and devise their own work. Working closely and collaboratively they explore the issues that matter to them and develop their own style as performers and theatre-makers. They create exciting, thought-provoking, and original work.
"Being in YARD and sharing creative ideas inspires me." - Current Participant, (15yrs)

We want YARD to be accessible as possible for everyone. We will make sure our sessions can be experienced fully by removing any barriers we can. Please tell us if there is anything, we can do to ensure our sessions are accessible for you.
