Milton Keynes Arts Centre is situated in the heart of the 18th century Great Linford Manor Park. They run a programme of artists’ projects, events, and educational activities.

They provide access to specialist ceramic, silversmithing and woodshop resources.

The arts centre is free to visit. There is a café serving hot and cold drinks (no food at present). They have a garden which is wheelchair accessible and where you can eat a picnic.

They have opportunities for volunteers and run 5-week courses including ceramics, drawing, painting, jewellery and textiles. They also run activities for children and young people.

On the first Saturday of each month, they run family workshops. Recommended ticket prices are £4.50 but they ask that you pay what you can (the minimum is £1.50).

During school holidays they run activities for young people, including the Summer Art Camp for 9 to 12-year-olds.

Facilities include baby changing, accessible toilets and parking.
