Heydays is the largest and longest-running arts programme for older people in UK theatre.

Book your place for our Autumn 2025 term.

With opportunities to try everything from drama to dance to play reading and creative writing, supported by a team of professional artists, Heydays is a vibrant, creative community where skills are developed, and stories are shared.

Whether you have tons of experience in the arts or you would like to try something new, you are welcome to come along on a Wednesday at 10am to meet our Friendly Face volunteer who will show you around so you can decide if Heydays is for you.

There are drop-in activities available through-out the day that you do not need to book on to. You can find out this information by looking at the Autumn 2025 programme or just coming along on the day.

To purchase your membership and sign up for the activities, visit our friendly Box Office in person or call them on 0113 213 7700.
