Kids Week offers free theatre tickets for young Londoners when accompanied by an adult paying full price

Every summer holiday London invites children under 17 to enjoy some of the best theatre productions for free to any participating show as long as they’re accompanied by a full paying adult. In addition, adults can buy up to two extra child tickets at half price. And there is no booking fee.

The Kids Week deal proved so in demand that now runs throughout the summer holiday between 20 July to 31 August. This annual theatrical event is a great way to introduce young people to the magic of musicals, plays, comedies and children shows. And some of the shows come with pre and post-show activities that can be booked along with your theatre tickets. We had a browse through all participating shows and have curated a list of our personal favourites.

Information about ticket availability, full list of performances and answers to all your questions is available on OfficialLondonTheatre.com. Keep an eye on our website for further announcements and a curated list of shows we love.
