Shaftesbury Arts Centre

Established in 1957 in the old covered market in the centre of the medieval Dorset market town of Shaftesbury, Shaftesbury Arts Centre is now widely recognised as one of the best volunteer membership-led arts centres in south west England.

Its regular, varied and lively year-round programme of amateur and professional plays, films, art, photography and craft exhibitions, workshops, and training courses draws people from far and wide including Wiltshire and Somerset. It is also increasingly taking the arts out into the community.

This website tells you all the need to know about what it does and when, who to contact and where, how you can get involved, the people behind it, and what it hopes to do in future.
