Castle Fest 2026
Mon 17 - Fri 21 Aug 2026
Daily, 10am - 3pm
Castle Fest returns this summer with five exciting days of performing arts workshops for young creatives aged 6–16. Join us at Castle Theatre as we sing, dance, act, and create through a week of musical magic, movie moments, and storytelling adventures.
Each day is led by our Castle Arts team, featuring expert-led sessions in dance, drama, musical theatre, and creative crafts. We are also delighted to welcome special guest artists who will drop in throughout the week to deliver pop-up workshops and inspiring creative demos!
Attend one day or join us for the full week—the spotlight’s waiting for you!
Please ensure that you register your child's details here - if we haven't received a completed registration form, we will be in touch to secure the details required for your child to take part.
Price: £25 per day or all 5 days for £100
Age Suitability: 6-16 years
Should they bring anything?
We recommend that they bring some water and anything else that they might need to be comfortable. Due to the length of the workshop, we'd also ask that you provide any required snacks.
Do I need to stay on site while my child takes part in class or workshop?
Typically children will be dropped off and then picked up at the end of the workshop, although you’re welcome to wait in our foyer too!
