What is Kids Week?
Wicked
Kids Week is an annual London theatre initiative run by Society of London Theatre (SOLT). The scheme aims to encourage more young people and their families to experience the magic of live theatre. They are offering a free ticket to a child aged 16 or under accompanied by a paying adult, and half-price tickets for two additional children in the same group; all without booking, postage or transaction fees! Returning in August 2018, it is one of the longest-running and widest-reaching audience development initiatives in the world; since it began in 1998, it has engaged over 1.4 million children and families!
