Explore
This April, Leeds Heritage Theatres invites families to Explore – a playful programme of film, performance and hands-on activities designed to spark curiosity, creativity and connection across our three much-loved venues – Leeds Grand Theatre, City Varieties Music Hall and Hyde Park Picture House, with the fun expanding to the Howard Assembly Room and Lower Briggate too!
Created primarily for children aged 5–12 and their parents and carers, Explore is a time to imagine, play and learn together.
