In addition two extra children can go for half price and there are no booking, postage or transaction fees.
Kids Week also has a fantastic range of free activities and events. Under 5s can travel to the deep dark wood for tea with The Gruffalo or enjoy fun activities with The Tiger Who Came To Tea. For older children, there is the chance to perform choreography from the hit musicals Beautiful – The Carole King Musical and American Idiot, go backstage with 1984 and meet the current cast or learn the art of illusion with the star magicians of Impossible.
Additionally, Kids Week ticket holders will be able to take advantage of a number of Kids Go Free deals on dining, tours and workshops. More information can be found on the Kids Week website.
