Children's Musical Theatre Workshops

If you’re looking for something creative for the kids, the Children's Musical Theatre Workshops at the American Express Stadium are worth checking out. These workshops are specifically designed for children and are held at The Terrace, which is the stadium's state-of-the-art leisure venue and fan zone. It’s important to know that The Terrace isn't just for match days; it operates as a vibrant community hub year-round, located in Falmer, Brighton (Village Way, BN1 9BL). The workshops themselves take place primarily in the indoor space, confirming the venue’s commitment to being a 'Family Friendly' destination.

The venue itself is quite impressive. Launched in April 2025, The Terrace is huge, boasting an indoor covered capacity for 1,000 guests, which can expand up to 3,000 when the outdoor area is included. This indoor space is where most events, including the family-focused ones, are held. It’s set up with immersive digital screens, LED media, and often features live DJs and bands. For parents, the food and drink options are extensive: there are four street food kitchens offering everything from burgers and chicken to Asian fusion and toasted treats, plus a full bar with Heineken and local beers like Harvey’s. They also have the Melts Café operating daily from 9 am to 2 pm for coffee and snacks. While the specific price for the musical theatre workshops isn't detailed, the venue does feature an online booking section, and they mention deals like a £5.50 Meal Deal and a 10% discount on events, suggesting the workshops are ticketed.

The musical theatre workshops fit right into The Terrace's diverse programming schedule. They actively host family days and a wide variety of other events throughout the year. For context on their programming, they also run things like live sports screenings (Six Nations, boxing), tribute acts (like Totally Blondie), silent discos, and even business breakfasts. If you’re planning ahead, they have other family events scheduled, such as a Circus Workshop on February 17th, an Easter Eggstravaganza on April 5th, and a Father’s Day Fun Day on June 21st. If you are interested in booking the venue for a private event, like a corporate party or product launch, it is available for exclusive hire on non-match days, and you can contact them at 01273 878 272.
