About the Lyric Hammersmith
The Lyric Hammersmith is a brilliant West London theatre with shows and activities for all ages. From Saturday shows for under-11s to teen workshops and a free Young Lyric membership, it’s fun, inclusive, and full of creative energy – plus there’s a rooftop café for post-show snacks.
Top tip from the KidRated Team:
Join Young Lyric (it’s free!) before you visit – it gets you super-cheap tickets, fun workshops, and your kids feeling like theatre VIPs.
Quick Inspiration
Yes – the Saturday morning shows for under-11s are a hidden gem. During holidays, Young Lyric events are a winner. And if the sun’s out, the Rooftop Garden BBQ is a total vibe.
Something for everyone – under-11s love the morning shows, teens thrive in workshops, and grown-ups (yes, even grandparents) enjoy clever, crowd-pleasing performances.
Not at all. Main show prices vary, but with Young Lyric, kids and teens can get tickets for just £5. There are also affordable classes and events throughout the year – some are even free.
Try a Young Lyric show or workshop – they’re fun, inclusive and a great confidence boost for budding performers. Or catch a family-friendly musical and grab pizza (and a selfie!) on the rooftop.
Try the rooftop garden for a sunny snap or grab a picture by one of the arty posters or signs in the foyer. Drama kid + stage door = gold.
Ravenscourt Park is just around the corner if you need some runaround time, or head to Westfield Shepherd’s Bush if retail therapy is your family’s vibe.
Yes – fully accessible with lifts, wide doors and friendly staff who’ll help you find your seats. They also run inclusive performances. Check ahead for sensory-friendly shows.
Yes, the Lyric Bar & Grill has great kids’ meals, and the Rooftop Garden is lovely in warm weather. There are loads of family-friendly food spots, from noodles to pizza, all within a short stroll.
They’ll love it. It’s smaller and friendlier than the West End, matinees are comfy, and the rooftop’s perfect for a treat. Best of all? Watching your grandkid shine on stage.
