Theatre in Education
Here's Max & Molly to tell you more...
“Welcome to the Bridge Classic Cars Kids education tour, an immersive theatrical production and interactive workshop on automotive history and the importance of a sustainable future.
Our Theatre in Education workshop blends the power of live theatre with hands-on learning to help children explore two vital themes: a sustainable future and the importance of our past.
Through a multi-sensory and interactive live performance, children are introduced to Rilee, a 1905 vintage car with a unique story to tell.
Although 120 years old, through the use of modern technology and skilled craftsmanship, Rilee lives comfortably in our modern world. Along with friends, Eco and Luxy, Rilee takes the audience on a journey that connects stories from history with the important life lessons of today.
Children will discover how the choices of the past shape our present, and how the choices they make now can build a more sustainable future.”

Children learn best when they are involved, inspired, and having fun.
Theatre provides a safe space to explore big questions, try out ideas and discover that every voice matters in building a better world.
Our trained actors (technicians) come with wealth of experience in working with and performing to groups of many ages and at many stages of their learning journey. The production will be followed by a group workshop for approximately 15 to 20 minutes and will work best in groups of around 15 to 30 children.
The 2026 Schools Tour Begins:
On Wednesday 22nd April 2026, Max and Molly will be leaving Bridge Classic Cars HQ to visit Suffolk schools for this year’s Theatre In Education schools tour.
The tour has been funded by Bridge Classic Cars alongside our partners; Lancaster Insurance Services, Enable.Services, GB Refinish Supplies, Electronic Terminations, and Riduna Holdings.
Without their help and generosity our educational workshops would not have been able to happen the way we hoped for.
All of our FREE to school places for our April and May tour have been booked up but we hope we can reach many more of you later in the year.
