About the Lyric Hammersmith
If you’ve got a budding performer in the family, or just fancy a brilliant, local theatre experience, the Lyric Hammersmith is a gem. With its cool mix of live shows, inclusive youth programmes, and a rooftop bar and garden for post-performance snacks, it’s a proper West London treasure. They run fab Saturday morning shows for under-11s, exciting half-term projects, and affordable classes for everyone from tiny tots to teens dreaming of the stage. Best of all? Their FREE Young Lyric membership opens the door to cheap tickets, creative workshops, and loads of opportunities to shine. Inclusive, innovative and fun – this is theatre with heart.
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.
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.
