Young people

There’s loads happening at The Yard for young people. We are committed to inclusivity, quality and exploring the idea of what theatre for young people could be. From our littlest Yardlings to our firebrand Committee members, if you’re young and have something to say, The Yard is the place to be.

We offer a variety of creative projects, cheap tickets for schools and £5 tickets for under 25s.

For more information about our work with young people, contact Katherine at katherine@theyardtheatre.co.uk or on 07462 051997.

Projects

We work hyper-locally to deliver our flagship project, Yardlings, offering children and young people aged 4-16 years the opportunity to flex their creative muscles, collaborate with some of the most exciting artists making work today and present their ideas to a live audience.

Through The Committee, we ask 15-19 year olds to shape the theatre, ensuring that young voices are at the heart of our programme.

With The Company (launching January 2018), we share our practice and our stage, creating cutting-edge new work with young, exciting makers.

Anyone 25 or under can nab an unsold ticket for a mere £5. It’s simple… if you’re under 25, all you have to do is turn up at the theatre and register your name with the box office at least 45 minutes before the show. If there are tickets left, you can buy one for just £5. Remember you’ll need to bring ID for proof of age.
