Holiday Fun

At Polka, we offer a wide range of creative activities and workshops during the school holidays. Whether your child is interested in drama, dance or arts and crafts, we’ll have the workshop for them.

Our holiday programmes include one-off workshops where children of different ages are invited to discover and explore creative art forms ranging from musical theatre through to puppetry and storytelling. For older children, there are opportunities to join our Summer Schools, lasting up to 1 week based on a specific theme or skillset, for example, Beat Poetry week, playwriting or physical theatre.

Watch this space for news of our upcoming holiday programme and timetable.
