MAC WORKSHOP
A Heritage-funded programme celebrating the story of Reginald Mitchell and 70 years of the Mitchell Arts Centre (1957–2027).
Through creativity, heritage and community, we’re inspiring the next chapter of our story.
“We can honour his memory by erecting a temple where in youth may gaze with confidence towards the future. Where physical fitness goes hand in hand with learning and reaches with true citizenship.”
See more about what we have planned to celebrate this milestone.
This year’s Into Film Festival will take place between 6-27 November 2026, and will once again help educators bring learning to life for 5-19-year-olds across the UK by inspiring young people to watch, understand and make films in new and creative ways.

MAC SCREENINGS
Josh O’Connor (The Crown; Challengers) leads the cast in this searing revival of Clifford Odets’ knockout American classic.1930s New York, at the height of the Depression. Joe Bonaparte is a gifted young violinist with a future in music, until a chance at fame and fortune lures him into the brutal world of professional boxing. He must confront what he’s willing to sacrifice, who he’s willing to become and how to find his place in a world that demands he choose a side.

MAC SCREENINGS
Sparkling, dizzying, and deliciously potent, Fallen Angels, Noël Coward’s champagne-fresh comedy of bad manners, shocked and delighted audiences at its 1925 premiere. Two upper-class wives, their husbands away for the day, share a few toasts to their pre-marital dalliances—with the same man, who just may be en route from France to visit. Old rivalries and past scandals bubble to the surface in this intoxicating romp from one of theatre’s comedy masters.
Tickets: £12-17.50 (inc booking fee)
