Culture at Home Hub

Mansfield District Council’s Cultural Services aims to bring local people together to feel proud and be inspired. Mansfield Museum celebrates the world around us and brings stories to life. Mansfield Palace Theatre is your home for entertainment and a place where you belong.

There’s loads to see and do – so please join in and get creative with us.

GET THIS

We believe that everyone should have the chance to be creative.

We know that care-experienced kids and young people need extra help sometimes to get involved in creative opportunities. GET THIS is all about us really getting to know what those needs are and helping looked-after children to be creative.

We want to learn more about our local fostering, adoption and care-experienced community so that we can design drama, music and dance activities with looked-after children in mind.

Mansfield Palace Theatre’s Zoom Youth Theatre

In normal times we welcome young people from the age of 8 to 21 take part on weekly drama sessions at Mansfield Palace Theatre. They are a fun way to meet new friends outside of school, grow in confidence and burn some energy. For the older ones it’s a chance to develop new skills in making theatre and create theatre of their own.
