What's happening at The Milton Rooms?

Over the last couple of years ambitious plans have been drawn up for the transformation of The Milton Rooms in Malton into a new centre for the arts in Ryedale. A number of dedicated people have been working to translate those plans into action. And this summer sees the first fruits of their labours ripen in a short programme of exciting events both inside the building and outside, in the town.

The Milton Rooms aims to collaborate with established and emerging artists, to make Malton a hub of excellence for the arts, in all creative fields.

With the dedication of a new, energetic team of artists and performers and the support of world famous Patrons (Kathy Burke, Imelda Staunton, Jools Holland and Bill Nighy) the Milton Rooms is set to Launch with an ambitious program of events starting from June an id well under way with the re-animation of this historic building.

"Oh, my word. Brilliant. When can I come up?"
