Our theatre is a hub of creativity for everyone to experience whether you’re here to see our latest show, take part in a workshop or event, develop your skills as an early-career artist or to immerse yourself in our volunteer programme. Burnley Youth Theatre is a place where you can belong.
Youth Theatre
Our Inclusive Youth Theatre engages over 300 children, young people and families a week through creative workshops, projects and productions. Our fantastic team of experienced workshop leaders and directors provide an exciting space for our participants to develop their performance skills, build confidence and have fun.
