about

This year's Summer School is happening on Monday 17th to Friday 21st August 2026! You will be staying for 4 nights, arriving on Monday and leaving on Friday.

During the week, there will be a lot of workshops, where you will learn and develop different acting and theatre skills with other young people your age. Plus you'll get to do plenty of activities like swimming and obstacle courses! ✨

The best part is.... Summer School is free! We will cover accommodation, food, and all the workshops and activities for everyone.

We only have 13 spots - so grab them quickly! 🚨

where?

This year's Summer School will be taking place at Woodrow High House in Amersham. Anyone from around the UK is welcome to join and take part. 

how to apply

You must be between 14 - 21 years old. If you are younger than 14 or older than 21 on the week of Summer School, then we can't accept your application. 

Deafinitely Youth Theatre is funded by trusts and foundations, which allows us to provide it free of charge. In return, we expect participants to show a commitment by making sure to attend all the dates of Summer School. All accepted participants are expected to pay a small £5 confirmation fee to secure your place.
