Fill your children’s long summer holidays with creative fun and an opportunity to make new friends at The Watermill Theatre this August.

Whether drama is your child’s thing or maybe they love musicals, the Newbury theatre has courses for all tastes. Children can create their own show from scratch, rehearse it and perform it in front of families and friends. Play in a Week is from August 8-12 and there are still spaces for 12-16-year-olds on the afternoon session from 1-4pm, price £95. Musical in a Week from August 15-19 also runs from 10am-4pm each day and is for ages 12-16, priced £155.

All the courses are autism friendly but the Autism Friendly Holiday Course from August 22-26 is specifically for young people on the autistic spectrum aged nine-16, where they can learn drama skills. The course runs from 9am-12 noon each day and is priced £95. All Watermill Theatre courses are delivered by professional theatre practitioners.
