Centre Open Mornings

Come and try out a free morning of activities!

Join us on the morning of Saturday 7th February for three hours of music and performing arts activities. Each centre will be open during their usual hours, and open to children ready to join in with the fun and discover their creative potential!

About NMPAT Centres

NMPAT Centres enable school aged children and young people of all abilities to participate in the arts.  They are open to anyone – you don’t need to play an instrument or have any previous experience – and each one serves and supports the community local to them.

At every Centre you will find instrumental ensembles, groups for students with no prior experience, a range of arts activities, talented and supportive staff, and a very warm welcome!

After attending an open morning, if you’re new to a centre and would like to join as a member, you can enjoy your first half term free!

We’re opening the doors to 8 locations across Northamptonshire at no cost. Find your nearest centre below and register at the location that suits you best:
