Doorstep Festival

Doorstep Theatre Festival

Making high-quality arts activities accessible to schools by lessening the restraints of rural isolation and the financial implications that come with visiting an arts venue.

Now in its seventh year, our Doorstep Theatre Festival is a touring rural arts festival designed to make high-quality arts accessible to young people across Suffolk.

Doorstep Theatre Festival provides schools with the opportunity to host a performance from leading theatre companies in their own setting eliminating the need for travel and transport.

Following the performance, schools will have the option to take part in enrichment workshops led by Theatre Royal’s Creative Learning Team. We offer this programme at a heavily subsidised rate to schools. Teachers will also be invited to a CPD session to explore how the themes within the performances and workshops can be carried into the classroom.

We are proud that Doorstep Theatre Festival is one of our flagship programmes, with 3,501 young people and 245 teachers taking part in the project in 2023.
