Theatres & Shows in Cardiff

Only two names on this page, and neither is actually in Cardiff itself, so both mean a trip out. A longer drive out to Bristol gets you Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, where you can watch the next crop of young actors take on Shakespeare, or book your kids into the weekly acting classes for ages 3 to 18. Out at Weston-super-Mare, Front Room is a small theatre with family shows, interactive performances and music sessions pitched at the under-6s. For toddlers, Front Room's under-6s sessions are the easier fit, and the venue has step-free access, an accessible toilet and food on site if you need a break before or after. For older children keen on drama itself rather than just watching it, the acting classes at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School run right across school-age children. Both are proper outings rather than quick trips, so plan the day around the travel.
