Centres
What is a Centre?
NMPAT Centres enable children and young people of all ages and 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!
NMPAT also run Specialist Centres including:
- Y Not Arts – for those with additional needs
- Youth Theatre – specifically for all things drama
