Time Out says

This exceptional young person’s theatre has earned its place in generations of young hearts since it launched in 1979. The Wimbledon theatre stages in-house productions, workshops and storytelling sessions for families and schools – look out for literature events featuring children’s authors such as Jacqueline Wilson. An £8.5m revamp – which handily coincided with the coronavirus pandemic – has vastly upgraded it, with many more facilities including a sensory play area added when it reopened in 2021.
