About Mitchell Arts Centre

Mitchell Arts Centre sits at the heart of Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, offering a versatile venue for theatre, cinema, dance, and community events. Opened in 1957 as Mitchell Memorial Theatre, the venue underwent a major refurbishment from 2009–2011 and reopened in 2011 as Mitchell Arts Centre. Today, guests can enjoy a varied program across the main auditorium, cinema screenings, cafe-bar experiences, and a range of meeting rooms and a dance studio. We’ve got you covered with practical details on seating, access, parking, transit, and nearby hotels and dining to help you plan a smooth visit.

Tip: secure your seats early for popular productions. The auditorium features balcony seating and flexible arrangements, with wheelchair spaces in the front rows (A/BB). The balcony is accessible by lift, and there are limited disabled parking spots on Broad Street. If you’re driving, the Tesco Extra car park behind the MAC and the nearby Brakes car park on Broad Street provide convenient options. For public transport, Hanley is well served by city transport and is close to Hanley bus station. After the show, consider nearby hotels such as Quality Hotel Stoke, Best Western PLUS Stoke-on-Trent Moat House, North Stafford Hotel, or Kenwood Guest House for a convenient overnight stay. We’ve highlighted trusted local partners for easy dining and overnight stays to keep your experience simple and enjoyable.
