Wider organisation

Mary Hare School came to its current home near Newbury in 1946. Since that time the organisation has grown to include a number of businesses and services.

Arlington Arts Centre

Arlington Arts Centre is well known locally and offers a vibrant programmes of music, comedy, dance and drama.

Opened in October 2006 by singer and songwriter KT Tunstall, initially the venue was intended as a school resource that could be hired to the local community. Since then, Arlington Arts has grown to be considered one of the leading music venues in the South of England.

The arts centre continues to provide support to Mary Hare School and its wider activities with our profits from live events, community projects and corporate hires being donated to the national school for the deaf.  With an up to date auditorium and lighting and sound technology, it always adds a certain flair to school productions!
