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 26-year-olds.

our work with young people
Yardlings
We work hyper-locally and with local schools to deliver Yardlings, offering children and young people aged 4-11 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.
Yard Youth
We run Yard Youth, for our 11-15 year olds – matching them with brilliant artists to explore ideas through weekly sessions.
We meet to explore drama techniques, learn how to create amazing theatre and share a lot of pizza.
For 6-12 year olds we offer The Maker’s Guild to discover, play and make at our free art club for the local community. With a professional artist, we play creative games, experiment with different art techniques, and plan amazing parties for the local community.
Black Excellence
at Nighttime
Our Black Excellence at Nighttime group first came together around SAMSKARA by Lanre Malaolu. The group are now working with The Yard to design future youth projects in Hackney.
No Empty Seats
No Empty Seats is our scheme that offers any unsold tickets to under 26-year-olds for just £5.
Anyone 26 or under can nab an unsold ticket on the door for just £5. It’s simple (just remember your ID).
