I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for the ‘National Poetry Day’ workshops delivered across EYFS and KS1. The staff and pupils absolutely loved it and said that they were so inspired that they changed their plans for the rest of the week to follow up on the fantastic poems that they had used and created.

Thank you to all the workshop leaders and staff at Burnley Youth Theatre. My child wouldn’t be the person they are today without your support and understanding

Parent/ Carer of Youth Theatre Participant

The world of theatre is so educational and constructive to someone’s character, so I know that every time my children are visiting Burnley Youth Theatre they will come back with something new they have learned either about drama or themselves.

Burnley Youth Theatre is an inclusive, supportive and fantastic organisation to work for. Throughout my time working on the team, senior management supported my growth and gave me opportunities for continued professional development.
