For 40 years, The Gaiety School of Acting has been helping young people find their voice, make friends and discover just how much they can do. At our Malahide Castle classes, children and teenagers can enjoy the excitement of theatre in a warm, welcoming space where everyone is encouraged to have a go.

There’s plenty to explore! On Saturdays, we offer Drama Workshops for ages 4-13, Performance Workshops for ages 8-13, and Youth Theatre for ages 14-18. Sundays are all about Musical Theatre, with workshops for ages 8-12 and 13-18. Through games, storytelling and performance, students build confidence, work together and let their imaginations run free.

Our autumn term begins on Saturday 3 October and Sunday 4 October 2026. We’d love to welcome your young performer to Malahide Castle! Visit our website to explore the classes, see prices and book a place.
