NT Connections Festival 2026
Proudly sponsored by
NT Connections is the National Theatre’s nationwide youth theatre festival. Each year it offers a unique opportunity for youth theatres and school theatre groups to stage new plays written for young people by some of theatre’s most exciting playwrights, and to perform in leading theatres across the UK.
Trinity Theatre is proud to be a part of National Theatre Connections, both as a participating company but also as a festival venue.
This Spring, we welcome 12 young companies – a range of youth theatres and schools from across the Southeast to perform new writing about young people, for young people and performed by young people.
