We hope this directory will help you discover and enjoy the rich and varied landscape of theatre for young audiences in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Theatre is strong and popular here. Millions of citizens go to theatres regularly and since the 1960’s there has been a remarkable development of State financial support for creative artists through the Arts Councils. Many new theatres have been built with the latest technical equipment and most are open all day as cultural centres for young and old.
