Our daily events:

• Dressing up box

  Dress-up with a range of special costumes and props from our Costume Store.

   

  The permanent dressing-up box is based on the ground floor of the theatre and is for all ages.

  We regularly update the contents of our dressing up box using costumes that have been on our stages, so there is always something new to try on.

  FREE, available everyday, next to the Royal Shakespeare Theatre Cloakroom

  Please note that the costumes have been worn on stage and may have some wear and tear evident, (although some of this may be due to the deliberate 'stressing' of costumes for stage affect), so please handle with care.

• Play cart

   

  The Play Cart is full of fun activities for all ages to enjoy whilst visiting the theatre. From colouring to making masks, there's a new adventure to be made every time you come.

  Available daily in the Riverside Cafe, in the Royal Shakespeare Theatre

• Story blankets

  FREE

  Our story blankets are aimed at younger children, aged 2 - 4 years.  Each blanket includes a simple version of one of Shakespeare's stories to read together as a family.  Throughout the story, you will find simple activities that relate to the blanket and help bring the story to life with touchy feely fabrics and simple puzzles.

  Collect from the Information Desk at The Other Place theatre.
