Looking for something fun, creative, and confidence-building this summer?

Our Summer School is back at the Palace Theatre!

Inspired by the magic of musicals, this week is perfect for children who love to sing, dance, act, or simply would like to try something new.

Throughout the week, young performers will explore the world of a true triple threat. Led by friendly industry professionals, sessions include West End inspired choreography, vocal training and acting sessions with a qualified LAMDA drama teacher. The week will be filled with engaging activities designed to build skills and confidence.

No experience is needed, just enthusiasm and a willingness to get involved. Whether your child already loves musicals or is discovering them for the first time, they’ll be supported every step of the way while making new friends and learning new skills.

By the end of the week, they’ll have grown in confidence, creativity, and self-expression. All while enjoying the excitement and storytelling of musical theatre.

Spaces are limited, so secure your child’s place today and give them a summer filled with music, movement, and fun!

Van Gogh & Japan - Exhibition on Screen

Discover how Japan shaped the art of Vincent van Gogh at the Mansfield Palace Theatre Lounge. This event invites artists, creatives, and culture enthusiasts to connect, relax, and explore.

Through rare access to world-class collections, the documentary follows Van Gogh’s journey – from discovering Japanese prints in Paris, to weaving their influence into his own style, and finally to the south of France, which he imagined as his own version of Japan. The film also travels to Japan itself, uncovering the enduring cultural exchange that defined Van Gogh’s evolution into a modern master.

Enjoy tea, coffee, and biscuits while connecting with fellow art lovers in an intimate setting.

Date: Friday 29 May 2026, 1pm
