Haddon School Visit, 26, March 2019

Haddon School's years 3 and 4 visited the Lace Market Theatre for a backstage tour with Max Bromley and team. The school tweeted their visit here and sent this message through.


I just want to say a massive thank you to you and your lovely team for the fantastic day! It is something we would highly recommend and we are in the process of putting our trip on twitter and mentioning the theatre. The children loved it and the best thing is they all found their best bit was different to their friends! The children were really pleased with their magnets and have all talked about putting them straight on their fridges. Also, thank you for the bags, that was most kind! Once again a massive thank you, and good luck with your show tomorrow!
