MAC Community Days
MAC Community Days, generously funded by the National Lottery, focus on bringing accessible film and arts activities to the wider community, including pensioners, those with limited mobility, and individuals with sight loss. These events are a celebration of inclusivity, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to engage with the arts.

The Hubb Foundation
Our partnership with The Hubb Foundation is dedicated to making high-quality stage experiences accessible to those on the free school meal programme. By breaking down financial and social barriers, this collaboration ensures that children who might otherwise be unable to participate in the arts can enjoy and benefit from these enriching experiences. We believe in the power of theatre to inspire and empower, and this partnership helps extend that opportunity to all young people.During School Holidays
MAC Workshops
The MAC Half Term Workshops provide an array of performing arts activities during school breaks for children aged 6 and above. These workshops are designed to engage young minds in creative pursuits, from acting and dance to storytelling and improvisation.
Not only do these sessions offer a fun and constructive way to spend the holidays, but they also help in developing social skills, boosting self-confidence, and nurturing a love for the arts at a young age.11:30-1:30pm During School Holidays

Built It Cinema - A Creative Film Adventure
Get ready for a cinema experience with a twist! Before the film begins, every child gets to build their own mini figure to match the movie theme – and take it home as a special keepsake.
It’s a fun, hands-on way to dive into the story, spark creativity, and make movie time extra memorable!
