Building confidence through creativity
Every child deserves a place to feel confident, included and inspired.
Created by local parents and experienced educators in Milton Keynes, Encore MK was founded to provide a smaller, more supportive creative environment where children can build friendships, discover new interests and feel inspired to shine.
Creativity. Confidence. Friendship. Fun.
In August 2026, we welcomed our very first group of children to Encore MK for five days of singing, dancing, art, filmmaking, games and creativity – finishing with a special Family Showcase.
Children came to us with different interests, personalities and levels of confidence. Our aim was simple: to create a welcoming environment where every child could get involved in their own way.
And this was just the beginning.
Proudly Supported By
Our first Summer Holiday Creative Programme was made possible with support from Milton Keynes Community Foundation. Thanks to its donors, we were able to provide creative opportunities for local children, including subsidised places for families who may otherwise struggle to access holiday provision.
What We Do
Our activities are designed to help children build confidence, spark creativity, try something new and discover their interests – while having fun and making new friends along the way.
Singing
Learn songs together whilst building confidence,
teamwork and performance skills.
Dance & Movement
Creative movement sessions where every child
can participate at their own pace.
Art & Filmmaking
Paint, design and film creative projects while building imagination, teamwork and confidence.
Why Choose Us?
We know that not every child thrives in a large holiday club.
Encore MK was created to offer something a little different: a smaller, nurturing creative environment where children can make meaningful friendships, explore different interests and grow in confidence at their own pace.
