Weekend and evening enrichment programmes, summer and holiday projects and a full-time professional training course in the Old Town Hall, Belsize Park in the borough of Camden. Wac Arts has a wide range of halls, studios, rehearsal facilities and meeting rooms for hire. Increasingly recognised as one of London’s top venues for performing arts clientele and a creative hub for our community.

Shorter evening courses and holiday projects for ages 5 and up.
Saturday and Sunday performing arts and media classes for ages 5-26.
All our courses are fully inclusive but we also offer a range of specialist disabilities and inclusion programmes too.

Our Patrons
“Giving an opportunity to those who sometimes don’t know how to find that door is a responsibility to all of us who work in the arts”

Simon Callow
“Wac Arts felt like home every weekend.”
Ms Dynamite

Martina Laird
“The power of the arts. Let it be for all not just the privileged few.”
Ann Mitchell
“Wac Arts was a gift to kids like me. It was a route out of – it sounds like a bit of a cliche – the ghetto.”
