Join us for the 2026 LTG Youth Theatre Festival – A National Celebration of Young Talent in the UK.

The Little Theatre Guild (LTG) is delighted to welcome Youth Theatres from around the country to our special 80th Anniversary Conference.

Youth groups of all ages will perform their own choice of play or play extract on Saturday 16 May, in the main house.

Essentially the groups will perform for each other, but Conference delegates are very welcome between 11am and 4pm – delegates will be able to pop in during the day and watch proceedings.  Groups are making great efforts to travel to participate, so we hope they will be well supported.

These groups will take part:

RSC Associate Learning Practitioner Ian Wainwright, will lead a warm-up and theatre games at 10:35.

Also to note that Medway Youth Theatre will take part in the AITA/IATA Instagram initiative weareamateurtheatre and the outcome will be available in the week after the festival.

For more information please email National Committee member and Youth Festival organiser Jo Matthews on youth.festival@littletheatreguild.org
