Work Experience |
Once a month the Creative Education team run a Creative Education Week when schools are invited to bring a group of children to the Playhouse for a half-day session of themed creative activities.
Creative Education Week Sessions
Please see below for a list of the sessions on offer this season. Teachers can bring a class to a session at the Playhouse, either 10.00am – 12 noon or 1pm – 3pm. All sessions are £5 per child.
CPD Sessions for Teachers
To prepare you for the children’s session we explore creative ideas by offering twilight sessions at the West Yorkshire Playhouse for teachers. These run from 4pm – 5pm and take place at West Yorkshire Playhouse. These sessions are also a useful tool for teachers not intending to bring children. £17 per teacher, per session.

"Thank you very much for a fantastic time at West Yorkshire Playhouse. I really enjoyed the bit when we got to write our own scripts in groups and try on the costumes"
