School of Clowns Drop In Sessions

If you have been looking for a way to spend a Monday evening in Brighton, the Theatre Royal is currently hosting the School of Clowns drop-in sessions. These sessions are led by the clown master Chris Cresswell and are designed to help participants explore their imagination and emotions through the practice of clowning. The focus is on connecting with the absurd and learning to embrace mistakes and personal fragility in a creative, shared environment. It is a space that encourages a different approach to self-expression, fitting into the wider creative learning programme offered at the theatre.

The sessions take place on Mondays at 17:30. While the broader programme runs from 2 March through to 27 April 2026, specific dates such as 30 March and 27 April are confirmed for those interested in attending. Tickets are priced at £10.00, though it is worth noting that prices can fluctuate depending on the day. If you decide to head down, it is generally recommended to arrive at the venue about 20 to 30 minutes before the start time to collect your tickets and find your seat without feeling rushed.

Getting to the Theatre Royal is quite straightforward, as it is located centrally on New Road, BN1 1SD. It is a ten-minute walk from Brighton Railway Station if you head down Queen's Road and through North Laine. For those using public transport, buses stop at North Street, which is just a two-minute walk from the theatre entrance. If you are driving, parking is available at the NCP Theatre, Trafalgar Street, or The Lanes. Taxis are also able to drop passengers off directly on New Road. You can secure your place by calling 0870 060 6650 or by visiting the official website to book your tickets in advance.
