Virgin Holidays launches Pauline Quirke Academy in Barbados

Virgin Holidays

TV’s Birds of a Feather star Pauline Quirke has teamed up with Virgin Holidays to open a performing arts school in Barbados.

Budding young singers and actors can sign up with the Academy at Savannah Beach launching in February next year.

Pauline, who also starred in Emmerdale, said: “I’m really excited about working with Virgin Holidays. Both parties know more than anyone how important it is to offer fun activities for young people while they are on their holidays, and our fabulous workshops do exactly that. 

“Families will go away with some brilliant holiday memories as the sessions not only build young peoples’ confidence, but they also bring out the performer in everyone while enjoying the sunshine! Who can say they’ve done that on any other holiday?!”

The Pauline Quirke Academy started in the UK in 2007. The Caribbean academy at the 3V+ Savannah Beach (below) will be open for kids aged four to 16. Students will be split into groups according to age and specialist teachers will take them through two-hour sessions across three days in drama, comedy and musical theatre.
