Children from Bankside Primary School in Harehills take us back in time to Ancient Greece.

Travel back in time to Ancient Greece with three classes of talented performers from Bankside Primary School in Harehills. What did it take to win the original Olympics? How did people keep their Gods and Goddesses happy? What exactly is a Trojan Horse? Find out the answer to all of these questions and more as an expert team of young archaeologists share their knowledge.

This event is part of Open Season, the Playhouse’s annual festival of community creativity. The theme for 2026 is Happy Birthday, Leeds! commemorating the milestone 400th anniversary of our hometown receiving its royal charter and becoming a city.
