Theatre in Education
School's Tour 2026
Our Theatre in Education workshop toured Suffolk primary schools throughout April and May 2026. During this time, Max & Molly performed The Story of Rilee to hundreds of primary school children and opened up a new way of looking at history, sustainability, engineering, and friendship.
The workshop was based around a 1905 classic car, called Rilee, who is brought back to life in the modern world. With the help of our technicians, Max and Molly, the Story of Rilee showed children how history and modern innovation can work together, proving that even after more than 120 years, there’s still a place for Rilee in today’s world.
Our 2026 tour was fully booked, so we are now exploring opportunities to bring it to more schools in the future.

45 minute TIE (Theatre In Education) live production of The Story of Rilee, told by technicians Molly and Max. -

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.
