Theatretrain Reading is marking its 25th anniversary.

To celebrate, it's teamed up with the Chronicle to offer one lucky youngster a free year's scholarship, worth £800, and two lucky youngsters a half-year scholarship, worth £400. It's also giving away a Summer School scholarship worth £125.

Theatretrain Reading is based at The Hill School, Peppard Road, Caversham and trains children aged between 4 and 18.

To be in with a chance of winning one of these fantastic prizes, parents should email reading@theatretrain.co.uk and tell us what it would mean to their child to win. Be sure to include the child's age and your full contact details. Alternatively, write to Theatretrain Reading, PO Box 8153, RG30 9HL.

Successful applicants will be invited to a special session on July 9 so they can meet with the team. No experience necessary, everyone is welcome to apply.
