“What a wonderfully fun and safe place for children to act out their imaginative ideas! Niamh is adored by all the children, especially my daughter who is not easy to impress! She tailors group and 1-1 sessions in such a way as to get the maximum out of every student whether that child be painfully shy or a force of nature! I can’t recommend Vivacity enough, we feel extremely lucky to have found such a talented tutor in our local area!”

Rated 5 Stars by Families Across Greater Manchester

“My son Jamie has been going to vivacity for a while now and I cannot express how grateful I am to Niamh and the team! Jamie has grown in confidence and has so much fun at his vivacity sessions! Vivacity is inclusive, fun, builds confidence and all the kids love it! I would recommend it to anyone thinking of sending their son/daughter to a theatre school!”
