The largest mixed arts centre in the Midlands, Warwick Arts Centre is located on the University of Warwick campus in Coventry. Originally opened in 1974, it attracts over 300,000 visitors a year to over 3,000 events including all types of theatre and performance, contemporary and classical music, dance, comedy, visual art, films, talks and family events.
After the 20:20 Project – a transformative four-year redevelopment, which saw the venue become a fully accessible and sustainable creative hub, re-opened in 2021 – Warwick Arts Centre now comprises a three-screen cinema, theatre, gallery, and brand-new restaurant.
Warwick Arts Centre offers a diverse, ambitious film programme, designed to serve the widest possible audience, including blockbusters, art-house and independent releases, family films and event cinema releases.
