What is the Roadshow?

In 2017, the BAFTA Kids Roadshow with Place2Be visited schools in England, Scotland and Wales with exciting activities, including a 'Behind the Scenes Assembly' and a 'Presenting Masterclass' led by special guests from the world of children's television. Pupils from 2 London schools were invited to the BAFTA Kids Awards in November for a ‘Red Carpet Experience’.

We were delighted to continue our travels in 2018 for Year 2 of the Roadshow, reaching even more children and young people across the UK, from Croydon to Ayrshire.

Now we are thrilled to re-launch the Roadshow for year 3, find out more about what the roadshow got up to in Scotland, Birmingham and London here.
