Best Theatre Arts Turns 25!
Southern Maltings

To celebrate the founding of Best 25 years ago, we have set aside the equivalent of 25 places for students new to Best who could benefit from our training but may not be able to afford it.

HOW TO APPLY -
We'd just like to meet people - prospective students and parents - to find out more about the family and its situation. We'd ideally like the places to go to children who, without the award, would not otherwise be able to attend but this is not a hard and fast rule. Most... Read more
