How much do sessions at Theatretrain Biggleswade cost?
Main Company (6-18 year olds)
Sibling Discounts
For our Main Company students, we offer a 50% discount for siblings, meaning fees for the second child equate to £12 per session. So, for example, if you had 2 children attending the Theatretrain Main Company, fees for a 14-week term would be £504.
How it works
Our Main Company sessions run weekly during term time and are 3 hours long. Most families choose our monthly subscription, which spreads the cost evenly across the year at £80 per month by Direct Debit — no need to calculate term lengths or remember payment dates.
Alternatively, you can pay a termly fee in full (by card or BACS) at the start of each term. Termly fees vary between £264 and £360, depending on the number of weeks in the term.
Siblings receive a 50% discount on tuition — so the second child pays just £40 per month or half the termly fee.

We are Ofsted registered and are also able to accept childcare vouchers and tax-free childcare payments for all our classes and holiday clubs. Feel free to contact us for more details.
Our flexible payment plans
We want to make professional theatre training accessible to everyone, which is why we offer a monthly subscription option for both of our session types. Direct Debit means you can spread the total cost without fuss – and without needing to track term dates or one-off invoices.
What’s included?
In every session, your children will learn the fundamentals of performing arts in an active, alive atmosphere. We cover the most important aspects of theatre training – dance, acting and singing. Our highly qualified and experienced creative team guide our students through a programme designed by credited theatre expert, playwright and author, Kevin Dowsett.
Unlike traditional performing arts schools, we don’t focus on preparing students for exams and competitions, although you will have the opportunity to participate in these if you wish. We teach young people how to adopt the mindset of a theatre performer and to develop as an ensemble as well as be part of an ensemble.
Are there any additional costs?
