Since its launch in 2005, the National Festival of Youth Theatre (NFYT) has built its reputation and grown to become the largest open platform for youth theatre performance and training opportunities anywhere in the UK.

The 4-day residential festival is a vibrant celebration of youth theatre, creativity and diversity with participation, collaboration and education at its core.

NFYT offers young people aged 14-25 the chance to take part in an invigorating and challenging weekend of theatre-based activities; to perform in front of peer and public audiences;,to share in each other’s work and to learn and develop new artistic skills from industry professionals. In previous years workshops have included acting, directing, playwriting, stage combat, beatboxing, prop-making, magic and dance. Opportunities will also be created for participants to meet and bond with new friends during NFYT social events.

“NFYT continues to create, encourage and support a fantastic environment for showcasing the work of youth theatres. I love sitting in the audience experiencing the electric atmosphere and excitement of the young people.”
