TAKE a child to the theatre for free in August.

After a successful longer run last year, this year Kid’s Week has been extended to a month and will run from August 1 to August 31.

In its 16th year, the scheme allows one child under 16 to go free to many shows in the West End when accompanied by a full-paying adult. Two more children can go along for half price.

There will also be a range of free activities on stage and back stage at prestigious venues in the capital, often working with cast and crew.

Book from June 18. Go to kidsweek.co.uk or call 0844 2485151.
