Venue: The Lyceum Theatre, London

Daytrippers joined forces with the wonderful creative charity ‘Mousetrap’ to help take over 1300 children from special schools from in and around London to a very special matinee performance of ‘Lion King’. The award winning West End spectacle left the children who attended entertained, inspired and awed by its energy and amazing performances.

All the children walked away with goodie bags filled with treats from Disney. To some of them it was an incredible and unforgettable introduction to the world of theatre.

Date: 21st & 23rd April 2009

Venue: The Lyric Theatre, Hammersmith

‘Hang On’ is a spectacular show at the Lyric Theatre, fusing circus skills, movement, humor and live music, all suspended dramatically above the stage. We booked two special performances for the sole enjoyment of Daytrippers children so they could take over the Theatre and get fully involved with the show. The performances had the audience laughing one minute then gazing in amazement at the actors as they climbed the set trying to get as high as they could. This was a thrilling show for all the children to enjoy, showing them that what looks impossible can become possible!

After the second Matinee some of the actors came out to meet and greet the audience as they were leaving, allowing the lucky few a perfect photo opportunity.

Date: 7th March 2009

Venue: Conway Hall, Red Lion Square WC1R

After the success of last year’s concert, we teamed up with the wonderful CREATE charity again to bring you an exclusive Daytrippers booking of the Creative:Space concert. The hugely talented Derek Paravacini (who is blind and has severe learning difficulties) lead the concert with lots of story telling, crafts and music making.

The fully booked venue was alive with children dancing, singing, drawing and making new friends. All the children were encouraged to participate in the concert in one way or another - most joined in the music making with various instruments that were handed out throughout the morning! As usual, this was a great event for all the family to enjoy.

A huge Thank You goes to everyone at Create for hosting such an enjoyable event. To view the photograph gallery from the day, please click on the image to the left.
