Discover a Franchise Built on Purpose
This business inspires confidence, creativity, and community
Have you ever envisioned running your own business - one that not only delivers financial success but also genuinely makes a difference? The Big Mouth Theatre Franchise offers exactly that: an opportunity to lead a business where creativity, confidence and community development converge.
Big Mouth Theatre delivers after-school clubs, weekend workshops and holiday drama camps for children under 16. These programmes are designed not just to entertain, but to empower young people. We don’t simply teach performance - our mission is to help children believe in themselves and develop their abilities.
This is more than one of the many children’s activity brands - it’s a purpose-driven enterprise built to meet a meaningful community need, and geared to stand out in a growing market.
This is your chance to lead a business that genuinely matters. By aligning profit with purpose, you’ll not only generate financial return - you’ll help children in your community flourish, grow in confidence, express themselves and thrive.
If you’ve been seeking a business venture that is as rewarding personally as it is commercially, Big Mouth Theatre may be exactly what you’re looking for. Join us in our mission: to inspire, empower and create positive change.
The journey began in February 2013, when Big Mouth Theatre launched its first after-school club at a village school in the New Forest. The response was instant and powerful - local parents and schools quickly embraced the non-competitive, fun-filled approach to drama.
Frustrated with the cut-throat, overly competitive theatrical clubs they once attended, founders wanted to offer something better: a safe, nurturing space where children could explore creativity, express themselves and grow in confidence - not simply vie for the leading role.
With support from the The Prince’s Trust Business Enterprise Programme, the business rapidly developed. By 2014 they launched Saturday theatre sessions where all children are valued, with fair opportunities and inclusive practices. The model proved successful, and a second branch followed in 2015.
Through the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, the brand persevered - with online offerings and adaptability ensuring the company emerged stronger and ready to expand.
After more than a decade of growth, Big Mouth Theatre is now prepared to invite enthusiastic, like-minded individuals to join the franchise and help extend its positive impact.
