We are a Registered Centre for LAMDA, GCSE and A Level Drama. We offer a secure, family environment where everyone feels safe and confident to be themselves.

All Gobstoppers classes and courses are run by a team of qualified industry professionals. Gobstoppers are committed to delivering innovative and creative classes and productions of the highest standard.

Our approach

We pride ourselves on being a centre that teaches the performing arts with fun, enthusiasm and from our own professional experiences from working in The West End & Television.

This enables the students to gain confidence and be proud of their achievements, regardless of talents. There is no audition to be part of the company and it is the taking part that counts, whether a singer, actor, performer, back stage, technical, chorus...
