Polka Invites

What’s Polka Invites?  

Polka Invites has been created to allow us to support new audiences, by offering FREE and subsidised creative opportunities for children and families to enjoy.  

Why join?  

Taking part in drama activities means your child will develop confidence, communication and concentration skills – all whilst having fun! Their emotional understanding and needs are supported and strengthened.  And family bonds are reinforced through the shared experience of having a good time. 

What’s on offer?  

A range of FREE and discounted activities, including:  

• Selected performances* 
• Saturday Club – a family event on the first Saturday of each month with storytelling, puppet making, craft activities etc* 
• Take Part - after school and holiday workshops* 
• Discounted drinks in the Café 

The theatre has indoor and outdoor play spaces, a buggy park, toilets, a reading corner and dressing up.  All of this is completely free.  Everyone is welcome.
