Sign up for some summer fun at Mansfield's Palace Theatre Holiday Camp

The workshop, from Monday-Friday August 14-18, is a chance for children aged eight to 16 to develop their skills in singing, dancing and acting while having fun, building confidence and making new friends.

During the week, participants will have the opportunity to learn from a professional team of singing, dancing, and acting tutors, working towards a show that will be performed on the Friday afternoon.

Julie Bagshaw, who will be leading the camp, said: "We are incredibly excited to be bringing our first holiday club to Mansfield Palace Theatre.

“Led by professional practitioners in acting, singing and dancing, children will have the opportunity to stage a full show in just a week.

“Working in an inclusive and creative environment with other children from across the local area, with a real focus on confidence building and imagination, we are really keen to ensure all children are able to express themselves in a nurturing and wholly inclusive way.”

All sessions will be held at the theatre.

Christopher Neil, Mansfield Council learning and aspiration manager, said: “We are delighted to be introducing this summer school opportunity and are looking forward to welcoming Julie and other professional practitioners to the Palace for an exciting, fun and great week of learning with the team.

"We expect spaces to fill up fast, so don’t delay if you wish to get involved in this exciting new project.”
