Performing arts group offers free trial sessions

A performing arts group is offering free trials in Mossley to children interested in learning the performing arts.

Local performing arts principal Ceri Smith is opening the doors to Little Voices Saddleworth & Holme Valley for a dedicated Free Trial and Launch Evening on Tuesday, 10th November, 2026 at Mossley Community Centre.

Unlike conventional theatre schools that teach in large groups of 20 or 30, Little Voices caps every session at a strict maximum of eight pupils. The small-group model is specifically designed to help children build core life skills, including confidence, clear speech, and emotional resilience, through fun, accredited drama and singing training.

Ceri Smith, Principal of Little Voices Saddleworth & Holme Valley, said: "Many children struggle to find their voice in large crowds or feel overwhelmed by high-pressure stage schools.

"By keeping our groups to just eight children, every child receives individual attention, feels safe to express themselves, and builds genuine self-belief that helps them both on stage and in the classroom."

The academy provides CAA-accredited tuition and preparation for renowned LAMDA examinations, delivered by fully qualified, DBS-checked tutors.
