Discover your child's creative spark at free music and drama centre open day
Children and young people across Northamptonshire are being invited to explore a world of music, drama and creativity at a free open day hosted by Northamptonshire Music and Performing Arts Trust (NMPAT) across their various Centre locations on Saturday 7th November.
Taking place at NMPAT Music and Performing Arts Centres in Brackley, Daventry, Duston, Kettering, Northampton, Oundle and Wellingborough, they are designed for school-age children who enjoy music and the performing arts, whether they are complete beginners or already developing their talents.
Visitors will be able to explore creative group sessions, meet specialist tutors, chat to current students and discover the wide range of opportunities available through NMPAT, including instrumental and vocal ensembles and groups, drama and performance opportunities.
The open day gives families the chance to experience first-hand how NMPAT helps young people build confidence, develop new skills, make friends and express themselves through music and the performing arts.
New for this term, NMPAT Youth Theatre will open its doors for a special open session on Saturday 7th November from 1.30pm to 4.30pm. Young people aged 9 to 18 who love drama, acting and performance are invited to attend, with no previous experience required.
For families unable to attend on Saturday, Towcester NMPAT After-School Club will host a dedicated open evening on Wednesday 11th November.
