The Young Vic theatre lives right on the border of Lambeth and Southwark and has a deep history within these two boroughs. Our friends and neighbours are really important to us. For the last 10 years we have given away over 10,000 tickets every year. We believe that if you live in our two boroughs, you should visit us at least once in your life. If you don’t like it, you never need come back, but there’s a chance - and we are prepared to take it – that this will be the start of a lifelong relationship.
The Two Boroughs Project is open to any resident of Lambeth or Southwark. This gives you the chance to come and see a show for free at the Young Vic. Once you have used your free tickets we will let you know about other special offers, discounts, events and workshops open to everyone who has registered their details with the project.
Free Tickets…
We provide free and discounted tickets to the residents of Lambeth and Southwark. We will advertise community tickets dates and you can request to book tickets. Individuals can usually book up to 4 tickets. This may vary depending on the availability of tickets. Sometimes for our shows in our smaller theatre spaces you may only be allocated 2 tickets. The people you choose to bring with you must be residents of Lambeth or Southwark too. Once you have received your free ticket you will receive further offers and discounts as well as invitations to events and workshops.We always give priority booking to people who haven’t received a free ticket through the project!
Free Workshops and events…
We also give you the opportunity to participate in any of our workshops or community projects. You will receive updates when we have projects coming up and will be able to book your place if you are interested!
We recruit to workshops as and when they happen and we hold different types of workshops and sessions throughout the year. We have limited places available on these workshops and places are decided by giving priority to people who haven’t joined us at a workshop before. You MUST BOOK A PLACE on these workshops if you would like to attend.
You don’t need any previous experience of theatre to take part in any of our workshops or events and we promise it will be fun! So spread the word to your friends and family that also live within the two boroughs and we hope you will all come and join us here soon.
Things to remember
- you must live within either Lambeth or Southwark - we will need proof of your address as well as your name, date of birth, your borough and telephone number. Anyone you choose to bring along with you must also be a resident of Lambeth or Southwark!
