Polka Theatre is a mid-sized performing arts venue in Wimbledon, England, focused on producing and presenting work for young audiences. It runs two theatres designed specifically for children, creating a welcoming setting for early experiences of live theatre. The program centers on children aged 0 to 12 and the theatre is recognized as an innovator in Early Years work, with local roots and national and international reach. 

Each production is supported by a learning programme for schools and families, offering online resources, rehearsal diaries, workshops, and after-show talks. Beyond performances, Polka operates participation initiatives and out-of-school clubs that help children develop skills in storytelling and puppetry, all within a community-oriented space that includes a café, gift shop, Play Den, garden and playground. In May 2026 the theatre announced a partnership with Little Angel Theatre Company to present Colours, Colours Everywhere, adapted from a Julia Donaldson book, running from February 6 to March 13.
