Castle Arts

Castle Arts is the place for those from Wellingborough and the surrounding areas to learn performing arts skills in a theatre environment - join our community to develop your stagecraft, gain confidence and most importantly have lots of fun! With various performances held in our Main and Studio Theatre spaces each year, we are offering young performers the opportunity to show off their skills on a professional theatre stage.

We launched Castle Arts in January 2023 with a weekly Dance class and we are proud to have expanded our schedule to include Drama and Musical Theatre sessions. Watch this space for more exciting developments!

A free no-obligation taster session is available for new students each term, with payment only being required should you wish to continue on with the remaining sessions.

For more information about each of our Castle Arts classes or to join our upcoming term/book a taster session, please visit the pages below. You can also contact us at castle.arts@parkwoodtheatres.co.uk.
