Mansfield Palace Theatre

You may have noticed that we’ve had a rebrand and are now represented by a purple star for the theatre and green triangles for the museum. Let us know what you think of our new building exterior – we’re really proud of it and hope you like it too. There’s also this matching new website and a new what’s on guide which have recently launched, so we’re very feeling fresh and clean right now!

We’re so much more than ‘just’ your local theatre and museum and like to think we have something to offer everyone in our communities, as well as being a safe space for anyone who needs us.

The museum hosts craft sessions, clothes Swap Shop, Lego Days, science roadshows and much more, all of which are free entry. Check out their Climate Change and 100 Years of the BBC exhibitions too, where you can learn about making small changes to look after the planet, or try our sound booth and present a newscast. More information can be found at www.mansfield.gov.uk/museum or across social media channels @mansfieldmuseum.

From local dance and drama companies to star names and our annual pantomime, we have something for everyone coming up on our stage between September and March. You might be interested in upgrading your tickets to VIP for just £15 per person in our Leeming Lounge. Speak to Box Office for availability and to book. Please be aware that we will no longer accept Theatre Tokens from 1 September 2022.

If you’d like to put yourself centre stage then check out the projects our Learning and Aspiration Team are working on, including our Youth Theatre classes, Write On group and Out of the Box, where young people and adults with learning disabilities can grow in confidence and have their voices heard.

Did you know you can hire our spaces for your own meetings and events? Or that our education team can tailor sessions for your group or class – either you come to us or we can come to you, we even deliver virtual sessions if you need us to. Drop us a line to find out more.

There’s lots of work going on behind the scenes at the moment, such as painting the stage ready for the new season, refurbishing seats in the auditorium and giving our kiosk a makeover, but of course these things take time. We always listen to your feedback and will continue to make improvements to our venues as and when we can.

We’re on a roll with our toilet fund thanks to you! For every ticket purchased, we ask customers to donate to our appeal to upgrade our facilities, not only so they have the makeover they need, but also to ensure we are inclusive for all visitors’ needs when they spend time with us.

In a nutshell, we want you to be at the heart of everything we do here at Cultural Services. From becoming a Welcome Volunteer to contributing to our Creative Women Together and Windrush Generation programmes, we can’t wait to welcome you soon.
