Kids Week in the West End 2009...

...is now over for another year but don’t fear, Kids Week will return in 2010. Dates will be confirmed later in the year.

Thanks to your wonderful support we have sold over 51,000 tickets. Thousands of families have participated in a host of Kids Week activities and events across London’s Theatreland, making this one of the best Kids Week yet.

Kids Week is all about encouraging young people to get involved in theatre. During Kids Week a child aged 5-16 can also go free to any participating show when accompanied by an adult paying full price. Parents can also purchase up to two extra children’s tickets at half price.

In addition, we offer a fantastic range of free show-linked activities, workshops and events. Whether it’s an energetic dance workshop, a behind the scenes tour, or a design masterclass, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

Kids Week's Emma De Souza wins the BT Visit London People's Choice Magic 105.4 London's Hero Award

• After being nominated by a passionate Kids Week mum, for her commitment to Kids Week despite the considerable stress she was under due to her son receiving treatment at Great Ormond Street, Emma De Souza was named London's Hero on 5 November at a glittering awards ceremony.
  
  On receiving the accolade, Emma said: "I am thrilled and shocked to have won and very touched that Hana Thompson took the time to nominate me. The award has come as a huge boost at a tricky time and it is wonderful to have the achievements of Kids Week recognised and to be able to give something back to Great Ormond Street Hospital who have twice saved my little boy’s life. A massive thank you to everyone who voted for me. The money that I have won will go to the Great Ormond Street Hospital Theatres For Theatres appeal which aims to raise £4 million over three years to build two new operating theatres for the neurosurgery ward where my son Jack was treated."
