Important News:

ArtsCastMk has now been up and running since July 2007 providing, what we hope has been, a useful and valuable free service to arts groups and individuals all across MK.

Many of you will be aware of the forthcoming rebrand and relaunch of the MK Arts Association website as MK www.artsgatewaymk.org.uk. For some time we have felt that we have been duplicating much of what MK Arts has offered and indeed emailed round each week in their newsletters and we propose to wind up the ArtsCastMK service over the next few months and defer to the new site which we hope will offer an even better service and set of functions than we can with our limited spare time and zero funding / budget!

We had originally planned for much more on the site with regular pod casts and features but time and a million other projects has been our enemy!

Once the new www.artsgatewaymk.org.uk site is launched on 1st May 2009 we'll be sending links to you so you can sign up to their newsletters and we will slowly phase out this site. Don't worry, we won't be passing your email details on or anything like that, whether you decide to use the Arts Gateway services is entirely up to you.

This Site

This site should be your first port of call to read and discover more about the wealth of theatrical and arts-based entertainment that thrives in and around Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, UK.

We hope that you find the site informative and useful (both to find out about events and to promote your own activities to a wide and targeted audience). Explore the site and discover the range of FREE services and opportunities provided.

The site relies on your contributions to allow us to tell everyone about your group, event or activity - so keep us informed!

A few key features of the service are highlighted below:

The ArtsCastMK Events Calendar

Stuck for something to do tonight? Got a free weekend coming up? The ArtsCastMK Calendar could be the only thing that stands between you and a lonely night stuck at home, watching the telly! You can search by date, event category or text content. Clicking on some entries will reveal a pop up of further information and others will link directly to a related website. If you want to submit an event for the calendar just email us the details.

The calendar is a free utility provided by a separate site / software company. As such it can sometimes be a little slow to load and may occasionally be unavailable. Just be patient!

The ArtsCastMK Mailing list

Join our free mailing list service to receive weekly (and occasional 'hot press') newsletter notifications on upcoming events and activities (which will also be posted on our What's New page). Your email address won’t be passed to anyone else and you can unsubscribe whenever you want to. You can send us details of events to be publicised through the newsletter. If you wish to stay informed then make sure you sign up to the ArtsCastMK list now using the form on the left of the screen.

The ArtsCastMK Links

Our links page is where your website should be listed. We want it to develop into the best and most comprehensive list of arts-related sites relevant to MK available on the net! So make sure you submit your links to us!
