The Ark T Centre is a creative arts project where every week people share in its life through art workshops, dance classes, music, visiting the gallery and eating in the cafe. 

The Centre was opened in 1997 when James, the minister of the church, began working with a group of artists and the church offered them studio space in exchange for doing something with the church in the community.

Based in the church premises, the Ark T Centre now has a recording studio for young musicians, rehearsal space for theatre and dance, a performance and concert area, art exhibition and studio spaces and a café.  The Centre employs 6 staff, has 4 resident artists and a team of sessional workers and volunteers. 

The Centre works in partnership with many agencies who refer people to its different programmes for training and creativity. 

The Ark T Centre believes that creativity through the arts can allow people to discover new things about themselves and others and so unlock the potential for change. It takes its motif from the Biblical story of Noah. Every kind of living creature found refuge in the ark and the rainbow tells of God’s promise of hope for the future. The message of good news seen through the life of Christ becomes the fulfilment of this promise which speaks to all and underpins the work of the Ark T Centre. 

The Ark T Centre is a registered charity (no. 1079495).
