About Us
Corby Music and Performing Arts Centre is one of fifteen Regional Saturday Centres run by the Northamptonshire Music and Performing Arts Service (Northamptonshire County Council) and provides fantastic opportunities for young people who are interested in Music, Dance and Drama.
We are based at the brand new Kingswood School, Gainsborough Road, Corby and are really pleased to be able to use such fantastic new facilities.
Many of our current and former students started at Corby Music Centre when they were very young and have gone on to become members of Northamptonshire's award-winning County groups - so could you!
Fees are just £50 a term (£150 a year).
There are over 15 000 young people involved in Arts-related activities throughout Northamptonshire, so in joining us you will already be a part of something very special - our Music Service is officially "OUTSTANDING" according to our OFSTED-style Evaluation Partner and is the envy of most other Counties throughout the UK.
