2015’s Kids Week has seen a record-breaking start to its annual summer scheme, with an incredible 116,000 theatre tickets snapped up in the first 24 hours of this year’s launch. More than 40 West End shows are taking part in this year’s festival of family theatre fun, which runs throughout the whole month of August. Kids Week offers children and their families the chance to engage with theatre that they may not usually be able to, due to monetary or timely circumstances. With numerous ticket deals and further activities to take part in, Kids Week is not a scheme to be missed!
Now in its 18th year, Kids Week has a huge following and every year introduces thousands of young people to the magic of theatre. Workshops, question and answer sessions and backstage tours are just some of the other theatrical activities on offer in addition to the ticket offers available to children and their families. There are still more than 140,000 tickets available for anyone wanting to take advantage of the kids go free ticket campaign, offering a child aged 16 or younger the chance to see a top London show for free with every adult ticket purchased, plus up to a further two children’s tickets available at half price.
The Society of London Theatre, the organisation behind Official London Theatre and Kids Week, has been overwhelmed by the first days sales, however this success of Kids Week is testament to the organisation’s work, and dedication to the theatre and young people. It is clear the London theatre industry embraces Kids Week in its offer of unrivalled opportunities for children to engage in theatre, often giving them their first experience of the magic of live theatre.
