SOLT Kids Week Runs for Fortnight from 13 Aug

Kids Week, the West End’s longest running theatre promotion, is returning for its 13th annual season this year, running from the 13 to 27 August 2010.

Organised by The Society of London Theatre (SOLT), the scheme provides a free ticket for one child aged 5-16 when accompanied by a full paying adult. Up to two additional children’s tickets can be purchased at half price.

Shows including The Woman in Black, Oliver!, Wicked, Sister Act, Legally Blonde and Mamma Mia! will be taking part this year, with many more productions still to be announced.

Alongside the shows, Kids Week also offers a range of activities and workshops aimed at the younger theatregoer (and their parents!). Previous years have included behind the scenes tours, face painting workshops and ballet classes with the English National Ballet.
