We're social:
Following on from our success in Hampshire and Oxfordshire, RicNic is coming to London!

RicNic's first London show will be performed at Vauxhall's acclaimed LOST Theatre in Vauxhall. An experienced - and exceptionally talented! - team of RicNic 'old hands' will oversee this important, inaugural production. Stay tuned for more news!
​
​
Aged between 16-21 and interested in taking part in RicNic London 2017? We think you should! 

We're a small charity, but we're a unique one, because we give young people the means to really run the show - without paying a penny in participation fees. Put simply, we give our participants the funds to put on a full-scale musical, every summer, at a professional theatre (in London, the LOST Theatrel).

To take part in a RicNic project, you don't need to be a terrific tap dancer, a world-class singer or even a musical enthusiast: RicNic is about mucking in, teamwork, and having fun as much as anything else, and there are a variety of roles on offer - from marketing and publicity to costume design and even business development. So, whether your strengths lie onstage, behind the curtain or in the pit, make sure you check us out on Facebook and Twitter for regular updates - or drop us a line at london@ricnic.org.uk - and find out how you can get involved!

We look forward to hearing from you!​​

"Having seen many years of their productions I am more than ever convinced that what RicNic does is a very worthy contribution to the education of the young.   They have a great deal of fun in the process, they work very hard to achieve first class results, and many of them have told me what a lasting contribution it has made to their lives."
