The award winning Lace Market Youth Theatre is open to anyone aged between 11 and 18. We run a busy programme of activities including drama workshops every Saturday morning from 10.30am to 12.30pm, during term time.
Workshops are aimed at giving practice and guidance on performance skills and theatrical understanding through practical activities, in a friendly social environment.
In addition to workshops, we also put on one major public production in the theatre's main auditorium (16 to 20 March 2027) and some other shorter pieces that are put forward into the NANDA Festival.
Membership fee of £55 is payable if you are joining for our 2026/27 season. If you’re interested in joining our Youth Group, we will be holding taster sessions and auditions on Saturday 19th and Saturday 26th September 2026. These sessions will give participants the chance to work alongside past members and take part in drama games. You will also be given a short piece to take away and prepare in your own time for the audition.
We encourage you to attend both sessions where possible. Please note that places are limited, so we may not be able to offer everyone a space..
