Heritage Open Day: Macclesfield Amateur Dramatic Society opens its doors for visitors to see and be taken round our Little Theatre, a Grade II listed building, all ready, front- and back-stage, for an upcoming performance. MADS is opening up our Grade II listed building, a 19th century Sunday School, which was refurbished in the early 1980s into a fully functioning 190-seater theatre, for visitors and guided tours. The open day will coincide with the first play of our 2025-2026 season and will give visitors the opportunity to see the building top to bottom - front of house on and back stage - in a state of readiness for the production's last night. We will explain the creative process of how we get shows ready and what that means for our volunteers, as well as tell you more about the building - in line with the Open Day theme of Architecture.
