Big Futures start with Little Voices in Epping Forest!
Little Voices, the much-loved UK-wide performing arts school, is coming to Epping Forest – bringing exciting new opportunities in drama, singing, and confidence-building for local children.
Launching this September at St Andrews Primary School in North Weald, the new centre will be led by Sarah Whitcomb – an experienced drama teacher with a passion for helping children find their voice, both on and off the stage.
Classes are small (no more than eight children per group), creating a warm, supportive space for children aged 4-18 to grow in confidence while working towards accredited LAMDA qualifications in Musical Theatre, Drama, Acting, and Communication.
“Little Voices is about so much more than performing,” says Sarah. “We help children feel good about who they are, build lifelong communication skills, and have fun doing it. For us, it’s not about creating future stars – it’s about helping every child discover their voice, whatever their future holds.”
Ahead of the official launch, a fun and inclusive school holiday theatre week will run at the end of August, where children can explore singing, acting, dance, and creative teamwork. Dates are from 26th-29th August, 09:15-15:15, cost £195 (currently £175 with our early bird discount offer!)
Weekly classes begin on Tuesday 9th September 2025. Free trial lessons are available – and places are expected to fill quickly.
To book your free trial or find out more, call 07356 223 630 or email eppingforest@littlevoices.org.uk. Further information can be found in the flyers below.
