Perform Experiences

And the fun continues outside term term-time.

With Perform’s energetic half, three and five day holiday Experiences, you can banish the familiar school holiday cry of 'I'm bored' and give them a treat to remember.

Your child will work alongside an experienced young team of theatre professionals, every day for two hours, combining live music, dance and improvisation into a magical mini-performance on the final day.

Past performances have inclued Peter Pan, The Jungle Book, The Wizard Of Oz, Wind In The Willows and The Lion, the Witch & The Wardrobe.

All 4 Kids Workshop Theatre Camp

I have been running fun filled confidence building camps for children aged between 5 to 12 years for over 8 yrs, I have seen many children go from strength to strength along the way. Not all children are born performers, some lack the confidence to’ have a go’ what I set out to do is encourage them to have fun and gain that confidence at the same time.

Held in Wimbledon SW19. With a teacher /child ratio of 1 to 8 the children are well cared for. All teachers are police checked. Each day the children bring a packed lunch. 

Run by professional performers with many years of experience in their field. Each week has a different theme, from ‘Music Through The Ages’ to ‘The Wonderful World of Television’ and many more!

Winter Dates:
Blossom House School Wimbledon SW19:
Halloween Camp: 27th October to 31st October
Christmas Camp: 15th to 19th December
