The New Vic offers a day of theatricals with the chance to try out new skills, meet new friends and have loads of fun.

The workshops will be run by head of education Jill Rezzano and youth theatre director Susanna Harding.

Jill said: "Anyone who has an interest in drama should come along. The day will be a chance to learn new drama skills and have fun."

Tuesday and Wednesday's sessions, which run from 10am to 4pm, are dedicated to youngsters aged between seven and 10 years.
