Hello we are Limepalm

Our Story

Limepalm was founded by Robin Belfield and Susie Leppard who met while working together on the Lindfield Arts Festival. Holly Seymour officially joined the team in 2017 but was an informal member of the team for quite some time as a parent and occasional teacher!

We are unique!

We are not a franchise so enjoy setting our own syllabus which we can readily adapt to suit the children we are working with, according to age, ability, the size of each group and any special areas of interest. We are also able to respond to changes in the National Curriculum supporting the children through their formal learning with the added bonus of Holly bringing up to date experience from her other life as a SENCO at a local primary school.

Each and every one of our students is unique too!

At Limepalm we’re not just about acting. We help the children discover all elements of the theatre with some children preferring to take on different roles in the projects we do such as directing, writing, stage management, prop making etc.

In our sessions, every child is given the opportunity to work to the best of their abilities and we are proud of the progress our less confident children have made during their time with us.

“You’re only given a
little spark of madness.
You mustn’t lose it.”
