Z-arts

About

Z-arts is a place to express yourself, to celebrate your imagination, to have fun, be entertained and dream big!

So, whatever your age and whether you’re coming to see a show or make some amazing mini-masterpieces in one of our arts workshops, we hope you enjoy your visit to Z-arts and are inspired by your own creativity.

We are the UK’s only arts centre dedicated to offering best practice in children and young people’s #creative provision. Our mission: to inspire and enable generations of young people from #GreaterManchester and the #NorthWest to use creativity to maximise their potential.

We engage with hundreds of thousands of people annually in – Outreach programmes with local communities, schools, and colleges, international touring theatre shows and we’ve got superb on-site facilities including 230-seat Theatre.

Our building is our arts and theatre hub, where theatre shows take place and where there are plenty of dance, drama and arts and crafts activities to get stuck into.

Our theatre has 230 seats, and we have shows for different ages each season. We also run weekly participatory classes in all art forms for children aged 0-13 years. These can take place in our gallery, music room, dance studio or one of our other various activity rooms.
