Unlock a world of imagination
Polka is a registered charity. The generosity of our amazing supporters ensures that every child can unlock a world of imagination at Polka.
Polka is truly a theatre for everyone. Each year we give away 10% of theatre tickets and 50% of workshop places for free. Our free welcoming play spaces are open to all, and we provide adapted performances, tailored workshops, and subsidised tickets.

“Being named the UK’s Most Welcoming Theatre 2024 is a reflection of Polka Theatre’s outstanding commitment to accessibility, creativity and inclusion. Thank you for all you do to enrich children’s lives through creative experiences and the magic of theatre.”
Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London & Polka Patron
“Our foster child was able to be himself for the first time and participate without someone telling him to sit down and be quiet. He was able to stand up or sit down and could watch it on tv in the breakout area if he liked. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
Audience feedback, The Nutcracker Relaxed Performance
