Z-arts - Manchester's Venue for Children and Families
Creative learning is still at the core of everything we do, both inside and outside the building. We work with schools and communities all over Greater Manchester, spanning the whole curriculum. We strive to be forward thinking in all our projects, making them as relevant, accessible, educational and of course, fun as everyone who takes part in them deserves.
As Manchester’s venue for children and families we pride ourselves on providing a welcoming, vibrant and safe environment for the whole family to enjoy.
Our mission is to inspire and enable generations of young people from Manchester and beyond to use creativity to maximise their potential.
We believe everyone can enjoy creativity, so whatever your age, background or interest, we hope you’ll be able to find something to suit you, whether you’re looking for something for your children to do or you want to take part and get creative yourself.
Why not pop in and see what we’ve got to offer. Have a coffee and a browse.
Z-arts creates an artistic hub in our large building with twelve public rooms including a 230 seat theatre, gallery, fully equipped dance studio, music studio, café, rehearsal and workshop rooms.
We also rent office space for cultural organisations or individuals.

Z-arts is open 9am – 9pm Monday – Saturday, dependent on what events and activities we have on. Our year round programme of children and family theatre means that sometimes we are open on Sundays. In these cases, our Free Art Cart activity is on for an hour before the show, and the building will be open 1 ½ hours before a show starts.
