Holiday courses
Our holiday courses run during school breaks, and offer fun activities for children, families and young people. We offer both one-day courses and creative camps, which run from two to five days.
Age guidance
Our courses and workshops have been developed with specific age ranges in mind, so we ask that you keep to those suggested.
Experience levels

Beginner/Improver
Suitable for beginners or those with limited or rusty previous experience.
Improver
Develop your existing skills and knowledge, and begin to explore more complex techniques.
Improver/advanced
Perfect for those who still find more complex techniques a bit difficult, and are looking to refine their skills.
Advanced
Develop your independent learning and practice, with support and guidance from our tutors and resources. Ideal for those who are confident in their skills, but may appreciate additional advice.

Accessibility
We are committed to making our courses accessible for people with disabilities and additional needs. If you have any questions or requirements you would like to discuss, please get in touch and we will strive to make adjustments wherever possible. MAC is completely wheelchair accessible. We provide complimentary tickets if you require a carer or companion to provide support for an activity.

MAC's save-a-space scheme
We try very hard to make our artistic activity as affordable as possible, subsidising where we can, but we know that it helps to spread the cost. With the MAC save-a-space scheme, you can secure your space on a course for a deposit of £30, with the balance due 3 weeks before the course begins. Find out more about MAC's save-a-space scheme.
