Polka Theatre

Polka Theatre review

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. There's a gorgeous little playground and Polka's cheerful café is a top place for lunch.
