Get Involved

At Mansfield Palace Theatre and Mansfield Museum, we offer a diverse range of educational and creative programmes for young people. Our Youth Theatre provides a space for building confidence and making friends. At the same time, the Technical Academy teaches technical theatre skills and gives young people the opportunity to get experience within a live events environment.

"Future Movement," in partnership with Rambert Dance, explores various arts disciplines and the Young Writers Group in partnership with Writing East Midlands, gives young people the opportunity to work alongside a professional writer.

For younger children, we have "Under 5's Stay and Play" sessions at Mansfield Museum. Each programme is designed to inspire creativity and foster learning in a fun, supportive environment.

Youth Theatre

Mansfield Palace Youth Theatre offers fun and accessible workshops for young people aged 8 to 25. Split into 3 age groups, each class is tailored to its members so workshops remain at an age-appropriate level.

MPYT is an ideal place for young people to build confidence, find their voice, and make friends. Weekly meetings are held during term time at the Palace Theatre, with free taster sessions available.
