St Donats Arts Centre is your arts centre! 
With a continually-expanding range of opportunities for you to participate in craft classes, drama schools, art workshops, dance sessions, choir rehearsals and performances.  
We hope to see you at the arts centre!



 
Drama, Singing and Dance Schools for children

These are all fantastic opportunities to have great fun gaining acting, dancing and music skills and then creating a show on stage for family and friends.

The ethos is pure encouragement and fun – side-effects include increased confidence, self esteem, communication and teamwork skills! We offer an open access policy, so that means you and your friends will not be auditioned and you will not need any previous experience.
