Children can pick up musical theatre skills and meet new friends at Stagecoach Performing Arts’s summer workshops – taking place at its schools in Cheltenham, Cirencester and Gloucester.

Those eagerly looking for ways to keep the kids busy during the summer holidays will be delighted to hear that Stagecoach Performing Arts is running workshops in drama, dance and singing across its schools in Gloucestershire.

With sessions running in Cheltenham, Cirencester and Gloucester, youngsters will get to take to the stage, practicing their lines and finessing their moves, as they learn to put on a fully-staged show in a week!

Welcoming budding stars aged four to 18, Stagecoach’s summer workshops are suitable for all children – whether they currently attend the stage school, or want to dip their toe into the world of musical theatre for the very first time.

It’s a wonderful way for young people to learn new skills, build their confidence and, of course, have fun making new friends. Both childcare vouchers and tax-free childcare payments are accepted to help parents with the fees.


Summer workshops at Stagecoach Cheltenham


During the summer holidays, Stagecoach Cheltenham is hosting two workshops for separate age groups, both taking place at Cleeve School.

For smaller stars aged four to six, the workshop runs from Monday 1 to Thursday 4 August 2022, with sessions running from 9.45am to 3.30pm each day.

Little ones will get to enjoy arts and craft activities, as well as practicing their dancing, singing and acting, before putting on a short performance for parents at the end of the final session.

Meanwhile, older children aged seven to 18 will get stuck in with rehearsals, getting ready to put on this year’s show, We Will Rock You – with help from West End actress, Sophie Isaacs, as well as Stagecoach’s expert team.

Stagecoach Cheltenham’s summer school for seven to 18-year-olds is running from Monday 1 to Friday 5 August 2022, taking place from 9.30am to 4pm daily.
