Photographer Josh Brandwood went along to the launch event at Razzamataz Theatre School where he captured these great pictures of children enjoying the day.

The Razzamataz Theatre Schools achieved national recognition in 2007 after a memorable appearance on BBC’s Dragons’ Den, winning the investment from Duncan Bannatyne.

The Lancaster school – for four to 18-year-olds – is based at the University of Cumbria, Bowerham Road. For more information, go to https://lancaster.razzamataz.co.uk/ or email email [email protected]
