The North Wall programmes children’s theatre and other family events for a range of ages approximately once a month. We host workshops & projects too so that families can have the chance to get creative themselves. Past workshops include shadow puppetry, origami, Noise Band, pop-up book making and more.
In October each year, we throw open our doors for our Family Takeover Day, offering activities throughout the building that everyone can take part in. It’s our annual arts extravaganza.
Explorers’ Club
Step through the Wall and come on an adventure! Children aged 3 – 11 are invited to join The North Wall Explorers’ Club. Each time they come to see a show, they’ll collect a sticker to add to their Explorer’s passport – and once they’ve completed five Special Theatrical Quests, their sixth comes absolutely free! Ask at the box office on your next visit.
Family-friendly facilities
At The North Wall, we want to make sure our audience have a good experience when they visit us, so we’re proud to meet Family Arts Standards as set out by the national Family Arts Campaign.
Our family-friendly facilities include:
- baby-changing area
- buggy parking
- booster seats
- The North Wall Tuck Shop serving juices and snacks, including raisins and sweets
If you want to give any feedback about your visit, you can leave us a note in our suggestions box, or email our general manager Sherrell Perkin: perkins@thenorthwall.com
Babes-In-Arms
Children aged under two are welcome to attend family shows. Though we’re not often able to accommodate pushchairs inside the auditorium due to lack of space, we do offer free “lap tickets” for anyone wishing to bring a babe-in-arms. Please call ahead to book this free ticket when you book your other seats.
