At Madcap we believe there is creativity inside everyone.

You may want to act or dance, record or listen to music, see new artists display their work or just pop in to buy tickets for the next show. Whatever it is you can do it here at Madcap in a supportive and friendly environment.

Our Vision

The vision for Madcap is to establish a cultural quarter for the performing and visual arts and screen based media linked to other local and national creative and heritage centres. We want Madcap to become a central showcase for the creative arts; a centre of excellence for learning, enterprise and knowledge exchange linking creativity and lifelong learning through physical and virtual links. We also aim to provide a first step and bridge into the creative industries for anyone wishing to pursue a career in this field.

Madcap has a flexible theatre space which seats 100 and can be used with the proscenium arch stage or without. We also have a fully equipped music studio with rehearsal and recording facilities, a dance studio with mirrored walls and further small performance
spaces in the concourse and bar. The concourse can also double as a gallery and is
adjacent to a large kitchen.

Madcap has disabled access to the upstairs theatre. Our spaces are available for hire.

The Board of Trustees at Madcap Performing Arts Centre would like to express its admiration and support for the excellent work being done at The Buszy and Make a Difference. Any views expressed to the contrary do not represent the views of the management and we totally disassociate ourselves from these comments.

Our ethos at Madcap is to work in partnership with all arts organisations in Milton Keynes and not in competition. In today’s difficult economic climate we feel we should all work particularly hard to be collaborative, so that we can continue to build and develop the arts in Milton Keynes which is such an important part of all our lives.
