The Summer Arts Programme is a large series of arts workshops, classes, experiences and all round fun for children and families to enjoy in Nottingham’s vibrant city centre. Activities are varied and cover all ages. Some need to be booked, whilst there are some where you can just turn up and drop in! Many Nottingham city centre arts partners are taking part, so there is a wide variety of activities to choose from including drama, music, art, drumming and much, much more at venues throughout the city centre.

We hope very much that you might want to come and try something, perhaps for the first time, perhaps in a venue you have not visited before. Everyone is very welcome. Have a look below for the wide variety of workshops and activities you can choose from. As you will see, some of these are charged, but many are completely free.
