Kids go free to best West End Shows for three week run

Kids Week in the West End has been extended to run for three weeks, with shows and activities taking place from August 13 – 27.

Now in its 13th successful year, Kids Week, established by the Society of London Theatre, offers an action packed schedule of theatrical fun with a range of free workshops and events in addition to free tickets.

The ticket deal is simple - one child (aged between 5 and 16) will be able to go absolutely free to any participating show when accompanied by a full paying adult, and up to two more children can go half price.

Hundreds of children have been snapping up the chance to book for a variety of free activities and workshops designed to engage and inspire the next generation of theatre lovers and linked in with a variety of Kids Week shows including Burn the Floor, Hair, Blood Brothers and The 39 Steps.

Children can peek backstage, learn to dance, sing with the cast and tread the boards, or enjoy exclusive post-show Q&As with the stars.

Tamzin Outhwaite, who is currently playing Sweet Charity at the Theatre Royal Haymarket, said: "Kids Week is the perfect summer treat and gives children an amazing opportunity to experience theatre up close."
