Photos: Stars on Bear Hunt Launch Kids Week

Model Jamelia and actress Lisa Faulkner were among those who brought their children along for a special performance of We’re Going on a Bear Hunt at the Duchess Theatre today (15 July 2009) to mark the launch of the 12th annual Kids Week, which runs this year from the 14 to 28 August.

Kids Week, run by the Society of London Theatre (SOLT), is the West End’s longest running theatre promotion. It offers the chance for children aged 5-16 years old to see a range of 30 shows for free (as long as they’re accompanied by a full-paying adult), alongside a range of activities and workshops.
