We're delighted to announce a new pricing structure is being rolled out for our regular film programme from March 2019. Pay What You Can asks people to make an honest choice about what you can afford to pay for your ticket with three options available - £4.50, £6.50 and £8.50.

Student's from Edinburgh College's HND Costume for Stage & Screen Course have an exhibition of their Edwardian Costume for Performance pieces at Macrobert Arts Centre until Wed 27 Feb. Entry to the exhibition is free and you can visit during our opening hours. There may be times that the exhibition space will be closed to the public for private events, please do call in advance if you are making a special visit to avoid disappointment.

Our building will be closed on Tue 29 Jan from 10am to 6pm for a private event. Customers can still access Box Office during these hours, however the rest of the venue including Cafe Bar will be closed to the public. The whole building will reopen at 6pm, with evening films screening at 7.15pm & 7.30pm.

Get involved in this season's Conversation Photo Competition, running alongside this season's Conversation Starter about language and it's importance to our world. Does the language we experience affect our understanding of the world? What kind of impact does it have on issues like discrimination? Whose voices do we hear and whose voices are missing?

Our venue will be closed from Mon 7 Jan - Fri 11 Jan. Box Office will be open for telephone bookings only from 10am to 4pm on Thu 10 & Fri 11 Jan. All other tickets can be purchased throughout the week at www.macrobertartscentre.org. Box Office will reopen on Sat 12 Jan at 10am for normal opening hours.

Our annual Christmas exhibition of arts and crafts is back for a fourth year. Enjoy browsing through a selection of different works by Scottish-based artists or pick up a Christmas gift (or two) and perhaps even something for yourself! We've also got a drop-in Christmas Craft Fayre (Sun 18 Nov 12pm-5pm) where you can browse through some unique arts and crafts created by Scottish-based artists. 

Part of the University of Stirling Campus Central plans includes the creation of a pedestrian zone in the Queen’s Court area, which means that as of Monday 8 October Queens Court (the large roundabout at the front of Macrobert Arts Centre) will be closed to all through traffic (buses, cars etc.) - buses will be re-routed to a new and improved transport hub. If you are a Blue Badge Holder you will still be able to access the disabled parking spaces at the front of Macrobert Arts Centre, but can only drive in from the East Link Road (most easily accessed from the Hillfoots Road entrance to the University of Stirling Campus).

Christmas should be a magical time for everyone. Our Christmas Appeal helps local children, young people, families and older members of our community throughout the Forth Valley area, to make some magical memories at this year's Panto, Sleepin' Cutie.

This month, we took some young reviewers to Dundee Rep to see what they thought of The Yellow on the Broom. The verdict is in - find out more about what Ciaran and Caitlin thought of the show before it arrives at Macrobert Arts Centre on Wed 26 Sep!

Following on from a successful 3 week pilot project in February we will once again be partnering with Stand Easy Productions to deliver drama workshops for Armed Forces Veterans.
