Welcome to The Play House

The Play House provides exciting theatre and drama to stimulate the learning of children and young people.

We’ve been going for nearly 25 years and are a charity and a social enterprise. We offer a range of theatre-in-education tours, drama workshops, training and consultancy, with meaningful participation at the heart of everything we do.

This is our new website, which is designed to be easier to access, interactive, and make all our resources free to use. We’re working hard on getting the site fully functional, but we’ve still got a bit of work to do. Please bear with us!

You should be able to find our latest projects and access resources through the links in the box below. If you’d like to find out more about The Play House, you can read some more about us, or contact us if you’ve got any specific questions.

Welcome to the new website. Pardon our appearance whilst we tidy up!
We’re not quite finished yet. There’s still a few bits that don’t work quite how we want them to, and other bits we still need to add (come back next term and hopefully we’ll have some activities for the Interactive WhiteBoard too). Hopefully when [...]
