About your mentor
Guildford Shakespeare Company
Love theatre and drama? Come take part!
Guildford Shakespeare began with a simple mission to create exceptional theatre in extraordinary places. By re-igniting people’s passion for theatre-going we've sought to break down the boundaries that preclude participation, encouraging inclusivity and accessibility for everyone. The GSC Outreach and Education department work with some 24,000 people, young and old, across the region, in a variety of settings. A large part of this work is aimed at improving engagement for socially excluded groups and the least advantaged in our community. Projects range from primary after-school clubs to programmes for families with teenagers living with mental health challenges and Young Carers
Please note
Please wear clothing that you are able to move in and that is comfortable. Please bring water and sun cream in case we end up working outside. There will be a sharing of what the children have been working on Friday 31st Julyt at 2:30, parents and guardians are welcome to join.

Cancellation Policy
Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.Please give as much notice if you are unable to attend the week as this opportunity can be given to another participant.

My experience is an educational activity and the 14-day cooling-off period under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 therefore applies. After the 14 day period my standard policy will apply.
