St George’s Guildhall is the oldest working theatre in the UK and the only one left that can credibly claim to have hosted Shakespeare. The restoration of St George’s Guildhall is an internationally significant project which since October 2023 has built an education programme that has engaged with over 10,000 children and young people. The media reach of the project since October 2023 has been over 921 million people world-wide. It is an exciting time for the project and our education programme is a key part of this.
