Open Days and Events

During each academic year, we hold 2 open days at our Townsend Centre, which allow young people, their families and education professionals the opportunity to visit our Centre. This allows them to meet our team and those who would be supporting the young people, explore and familiarise themselves with the setting, and learn all about all our programmes, courses and examination services. These visits can be key in supporting a young person’s successful transition into a new environment and we endeavour to do everything to help them feel comfortable throughout their visit. Please contact us for full information.

25/26 Academic Year Dates:

• 5th October 2025 (10am – 6pm)
• 7th February 2026 (10am – 6pm)

Visitors have the opportunity to experience the creative talents and achievements of our students during our Summer Student Exhibitions, which are held annually. The centre is transformed with display boards and structures, showcasing a variety of analog and digital diverse creations. This opportunity gives the young people a chance to share their work with their families and the public, inspiring other young people and allowing them to see what opportunities they would be given if enrolling at MBN ARTS. Please contact us for full information.
