Theatre Workout offers two unique services to schools: workshops and school trips.
WORKSHOPS
Est. 2006, Theatre Workout is the leading producer of theatre workshops in the UK, with multi award-winning programmes in London's West End, Stratford-Upon-Avon, and in schools across the UK.
Our workshops include the offical workshops for over 40 major West End shows, plus an unrivalled range of bespoke masterclasses covering all aspects of theatre and performance, designed to maximise your theatre experience and enhance your school's creative curriculum.
All workshops are available as part of a school trip, or in the comfort of your own school as part of our outreach programme.
SCHOOL TRIPS
As a DMC*, Theatre Workout curates bespoke itineraries for schools and the global group travel industry, managing trips for schools from around the world.
London is our top destination, but our trips specialise in creativity and culture, so we cover the whole of the UK. Sample packages can be found at .
Our packages include all your trip essentials of travel, accommodation and meals; combined with outstanding experiences to support your learning, including tours, museums, galleries, attractions and workshops!
As a boutique agency, our packages are affordable AND high-quality, tailored to your needs. We work with many tour operators in the UK and abroad, so why not cut out the middle-man and book at source direct with us.
