Skip's Family Workshop - Mary Poppins

If you are looking for a way to spend a Saturday morning with the kids, the Theatre Royal in Brighton has a session coming up on May 16, 2026, that might fit the bill. They are hosting 'Skip's Family Workshop', and this time the theme is Mary Poppins. It is scheduled to start at 10:30, and it is designed specifically for children between the ages of 5 and 10, provided they are accompanied by an adult.

The workshop focuses on creative, hands-on activities, with a mix of arts, crafts, and 'making and playing' sessions based on the Mary Poppins story. It is essentially a space to step away from the usual weekend routine and spend some time doing something collaborative. Since the Theatre Royal is a Grade II* listed building with over 218 years of history, it is a fairly distinct setting for a family activity, even if you have visited the venue before for other shows.

Regarding the logistics, the standard price is 8.75 pounds per person. It is worth noting that both children and adults require a ticket to attend, so you will need to book for everyone in your group. The theatre does have standard amenities available, including a bar that serves snacks and drinks before the show and during the interval, as well as a cloakroom if you need to store any bags or coats, though there is a charge for that service. Prices for these workshops can sometimes fluctuate, so it is worth keeping an eye on the booking details as the date approaches. If you are planning to head down, the theatre is located right in the heart of Brighton at the BN1 1SD postcode.
