About Tolethorpe Youth Drama

Founded in 2001, we are so proud to be celebrating our 22nd ANNIVERSARY this year. Tolethorpe Youth Drama has grown and developed in this time, but the one constant has been to stretch and challenge all our members to their full potential in all aspects of the performing arts.

We have the most amazing Summer Workshops lined up for this August and can’t wait to welcome you to Tolethorpe Hall to create some magic.

You will be part of a unique production all created in one week, making full use of our amazing facilities and our stunning grounds in the heart of Rutland. On Friday afternoon you perform your work in our 600-seat, open-air theatre to your family and friends.

If you’re aged 7 to 11 we know you will love taking part in our version of Peter Pan and if you’re age 12 to 17 you will create a production of Lost - an original production especially created for this workshop.

Add in costumes, props and being able to perform on one of the sets from this year’s season at Tolethorpe Hall and we guarantee an incredible experience you will not want to miss out on!

Our Summer Workshops at Tolethorpe are always very popular so we advise early booking as spaces are limited.
