A super jam-packed 3 days of fun at our Film in 3 Workshop! 🎥 🎦
Thank you Jack & Amelia for putting our workshop together - we shot 2 films in 3 days!! 🤩
We can’t wait to see the final results at our virtual premiere on Friday! 🍿
Why choose our Saturday Afternoon Academy? 🌟
A later start means a more relaxed morning for the whole family - enjoy a lie-in, weekend activities, sports fixtures or family time before PQA even begins! 🎭
Then, while your child enjoys three hours of Musical Theatre, Comedy & Drama and Film & TV, you’ve got the afternoon to shop, catch up with friends or simply enjoy some well-earned time to yourself. 🎭🎬
The same brilliant PQA experience, award-winning team and confidence-building opportunities, at a time that could work even better for your family! 💛
Book a FREE taster at PQA Bristol Saturday PM this September! 💛
