National Festival of Youth Theatre 2017 1-Day Ticket Information: Saturday 8 July Introduction Scotland’s National Festival of Youth Theatre (NFYT) is the largest annual gathering of youth theatres in the UK. Over the course of a weekend, the festival will bring Ayr alive in an explosion of young creative talent. More than 150 young people aged 14-22 from across Scotland and further afield will come together to discover, share and celebrate their passion for youth theatre arts. With an emphasis on inclusion, education and collaboration, the festival aims to remove barriers, teach valuable life skills and provide extraordinary new experiences. We so hope you can join us!
Your 1-Day Group Ticket Options We want the festival to be a place where youth theatre participants come together and develop as artists, audience members and creative thinkers. With this in mind we’ve created a choice of two 1-Day Ticket options for you and your youth theatre group to attend NFYT on Saturday 8 July.
