Applications are now open for this year’s Summer Extravaganza, THE JUNGLE BOOK!
Monday 29th July – Saturday 3rd August.
A bit about us:
Each summer, the Summer Extravaganza puts on a musical or an opera in a week in July with children aged 8-18. In just five days the kids learn the words, play the music, dance the dances and paint all the sets and props, and put on the show on the Saturday morning. In recent years we’ve tackled everything from Little Shop of Horrors to Carmen (in English!).

“Both my sons have joined the Summer Extravaganza over the last three years. I am never less than astonished at what they put on in such a short time. They build and paint the sets, play, sing, dance and act – and above all, have great fun. All ages happily mix together and then put on a show of real verve and quality. I can’t recommend it highly enough.” Haydn Gwynne, winner of the WhatsOnStage Best Supporting Actress in a play as Margaret Thatcher in The Audience with Helen Mirren
