Dear parents and friends of King’s,

This summer heralds an exciting new era for The King’s School, with the official opening of our fabulous new theatre – named after one of our most famous Old King’s Scholars, Sir John Vanbrugh (1664-1726).

The Vanbrugh Theatre will be opening its doors to enthral audiences on 18th June, as part of a festival of music, drama and the arts – ending on 5th July. This will be a celebration worthy of King’s.
Sir John was one of the most influential dramatists and architects of his day, a leading light in the British baroque movement. Amongst his many architectural credits are Castle Howard and Blenheim Palace.

A venue fit for King’s, our new theatre will showcase young talent and provide inspiration for generations to come.

Just take a look at the opening events we have lined up for you in our online programme below.

Yours sincerely,
Chris Ramsey Signature
