Why we offer tiered membership:

We’re committed to making our youth programme accessible to everyone.

As a charity, we receive some funding to deliver our creative programmes – but this doesn’t cover all of our costs. To help us keep our classes affordable and open to as many young people as possible, we've introduced a tiered pricing structure for our termly membership.

Here’s how it works:

Everyone gets the same great classes, led by professional artists.

You choose the price that feels right for your family.

If you’re in a position to give a little more, you can opt for the 'Help Us' tier to support the programme’s long-term sustainability.

It’s a simple 'Help Us, Help You' approach – you choose what you can afford, and every contribution goes directly into keeping our programme inclusive and high-quality.

Bursaries available We also offer no-questions-asked bursaries for families who need extra support. Please speak to Sally sally@barbicantheatre.co.uk for more information.

Thank you for helping us keep Barbican Theatre Youth a vibrant and welcoming space for every young person who wants to explore their creativity.
