Children from across south Essex enjoyed a day of performances and workshops as young talent took to the stage at Hamleys. 

Students from Razzamataz visited Hamleys Westfield White City on February 21 for a series of showcases inspired by the story of Matilda.

They performed throughout the day, celebrating imagination and individuality through dance, drama and singing.

Families were then invited to join interactive Matilda-themed workshops, giving children the chance to step into the story in a playful and creative way.

Razzamataz is known for offering performance opportunities that help build confidence and teamwork skills while allowing children to experience professional environments.

The event also highlighted the range of opportunities available to its students, from live shows to major brand collaborations.

Jessica, from Razzamataz Theatre Schools, said: "It is a real honour to partner with Hamleys to provide children and families with some half-term fun while introducing them to the wonderful world of performing arts.

"We are passionate about creating opportunities that allow children to build confidence, express themselves creatively and discover new talents, and this collaboration allows us to do exactly that in a truly magical setting."
