Kids Week in the West End is back! Running from 15-29 August 2008, Kids Week is set to stage a fortnight of theatrical entertainment for all the family with free tickets for children aged 5-16 to top London shows, exclusive activities and workshops.

Log on to www.kidsweek.co.uk and sign up to the Family Bulletin to be the first to find out about all the latest Kids Week news. Plus Hamleys, the world’s most famous toy shop, will be giving every Kids Week booker an exclusive money off voucher.

Kids Week will take centre stage with a stunning line up of shows including smash hit musicals, Billy Elliot, Disney’s The Lion King, The Sound of Music, Mamma Mia! and Wicked. Other participating shows include The 39 Steps, Stomp, Into the Hoods, Brief Encounter, plus many more. The Kids Week experience doesn’t stop there as children also have the unique opportunity to take part in a range of activities and workshops designed to excite and inspire as well as develop skills and interests. They can learn improvisation skills in a Professor Bumm’s Story Machine workshop, Shimmy with Chicago or enhance their theatre experience at a range of post-show question and answer sessions.

The ticket deal is simple - one child (aged between 5 and 16) can go absolutely FREE to any participating show when accompanied by a full paying adult, and another two children can go for half price.

Kids Week recommends that bookers travel to London by train as there are great deals to be had with the Friends and Family Railcard and many London theatres are within easy walking distance of mainline stations. For families throughout the UK, kids can travel and stay free courtesy of Superbreak* and there are free children’s meals on offer at great family restaurants. (* Conditions apply.
