Participation Bursaries – young people aged 11+
Guildhall School runs a wide range of short courses over the summer, offering music, acting and production arts opportunities. This year we will be offering online and on-site courses, including Acting Summer Schools for 16-17 year olds, Prop Making and Jazz and Rock Week. We are delighted to offer Participation Bursaries for applicants from low-income households and those who are care-experienced. Those interested can find out more here.

Taste of Guildhall – group workshops for schools and colleges
There are a limited number of group acting sessions still available to book. Schools, colleges, theatres and youth organisations can book a three hour session for up to 20 young people. Those interested in booking a workshop between now and July, can complete this form. Sessions can run via Zoom or in-person (providing relevant Covid-19 safety measures are in place, and government guidance allows) and participants are asked to complete a short form before and after the session, to understand the impact the session has. The basic schedule for the session is a brief presentation on the School, some movement exercises and then activity focused on text, but the programme can be flexible and develop a session which suits the young people and where they are at in their current training.
