The beating heart of local creativity - art in all its glorious forms - begins with the people and communities of our fantastic city of Sheffield.
The Montgomery is so much more than a historic building... From our very beginning our driving force has been promoting the creative development of children, families and the wider Sheffield community. As a centre for the arts in Sheffield, our aim is to enable people from our diverse local community to discover, develop and share their creativity.
The Montgomery is the only centre for the arts in Sheffield that has a specific focus on programming outstanding professional theatre productions for young audiences between the ages of 5 and 16 to share with their families. Working with selected partners, we offer creative workshops, classes and experiences for children to explore the world of theatre and encourage their own creativity. We want our local children to develop a relationship with the arts at our centre that we hope will last a lifetime.
The Montgomery is the most important performance space for the thriving amateur dramatic community in Sheffield. We host and support performances from community groups, schools, colleges and dance academies on our stage, bringing together people from across the diverse range of our communities in shared creative experiences.
The Montgomery is an art centre dedicated to the exploration and development of creativity for local people and local community artists, from workshop space to art exhibitions and installations.
