I was only in the arts centre for a launch elf an event and was quite impressed that they could facilitate a glitzy affair. They had the smoke and strobing lights and it gave the impression that it was a much bigger venue. Staff were helpful although they could not get me on line on the conference wifi which is allegedly available throughout the arts centre (not to mention across the entire campus?) The auditorium which I was in, I am assuming was the main one, was of a good size and functioned well for the event launch I was at. There is plenty of space within the arts centre to sit have a chat/meeting. There were a couple of food/beverage areas so as long as you have some funds you should be able to get some sustenance to keep you going. The drawback would be that parking is limited but if you are staying/working out of Radcliffe or Scarman the distance to walk is not far at all so it nicely negates the need to drive anyway. read more

I came here to watch Warwick student perform a special night to promote a cultural program. The arts centre is situated in University of Warwick campus. Very modern facilities, they have a cinema, bookshop, concert hall, theatres, cafe, art gallery and bars. Warwick students are eligible for discount when they enter the cinema. At night, the arts centre is beautifully lit up. I can't wait to see the new Butteworth hall this autumn. London, you're not the only one with a cool arts centre. read more

This is the largest Arts Centre outside of London and is located in University of Warwick's leafy campus. Don't be fooled though, it's not in Warwick, it's in Coventry. If you're a student you use it mainly to buy books from the great book shop, to walk through, and to sit exams. As a normal person there are 3 rooms that put on shows and have diverse productions from opera, to comedy, to theatre. The cinema is also really great for indie movies and oddities. read more

Warick arts center is the largest arts center in the midlands. It is actually in Coventry despite its name and is at the center of Warick uni. Films are shown there like mamma mia and productions are also performed although ive only been there once. It was a pleasant experience and i would recommend it to anyone wanting to go and enjoy themselves. They are also spending money on redevopling it soon. read more

Located right in the centre of the Warwick Uni campus in Coventry and not in Warwick, but not too far from Kenilworth. Parking is free in the evenings if you can find the right spots, yay! Not sure how much in the day. I think it is a bit of a nightmare to find however, it's a bit of a rabbit warren in the campus, lots of islands and I had to go round a few times. The actual stage and seating area is great, good acoustics. Prices are quite reasonable. There are always big queues at the bar though! I also find it a bit chilly in there. read more

Have been her numerous times to see Jimmy Carr and a few bands! Most definately a brilliant itimate gig/venue. Seen films here too. If you havent been you must go. Top quality acts on all the time. 10/10 read more

Warwick Arts Centre is part of Warwick University and a really nice venue. I have visited many times and always been impressed by it. Certainly on the occasions I have been there has been ample free parking available. The centre has a nice variety of shows, comedy etc. It is very easy to get to and although I now live some way away I still go relatively often as it's a nice easy journey up the motorway. It has several different rooms / theatres some quite small and used for the smaller names comedy gigs up to fairly large theatre for plays etc. The prices are reasonable and unlike many places booking fees etc are not a complete rip-off. read more

The arts centre in Warwick University is a great place to see and hear live performances from many leading acts around the world. You can see plays , watch films and hear music, as well as see comedy. There is a great choice here. Some of the auditoriums are large holding 200 people but others are smaller holding much less. The capacity for each individual room varies. The art centre usually have many things on on the same night so can get busy. There is a lovely restaurant there too with bar. read more

This is simply an amazing complex, at the heart of the Warwick Uni campus on the way out of Coventry towards Kenilworth and Leamington. Although on a University campus it's a fabulous venue for everyone, comprising a concert hall, which has recently had a sexy makeover, a 500 seater theatre, a smaller studio theatre, a cinema and a contemporary art gallery. Huge range of artists perform here, from top name bands and comedians to the best theatre companies and experimental live art. Prices are reasonable, great online booking on their website - http://www.warwickartscentre.co.uk , plus a restaurant, cafe and bars, bookshop and CD/DVD store. There is even a Costa coffee across the road now! I visit regularly, and am incredibly grateful to have this amazing venue on our doorstep. read more

The Warwick Art Centre is brilliant! I feel slightly lucky that i live so close to this place!! It's a large venue which holds music events, plays, comedy shows, plays and has a cinema! There is also a large bar upstairs and downstairs along with an eating area. The place is fantastic, there is always something happening here. The prices are very reasonable - I once paid £10.00 to see The Levellers and £25.00 to see Jimmy Carr!! There is ample parking however on popular events I would advise leaving a little earlier as the traffic can be a little busy. The staff are fantastic and extremley helpful. If you want to learn more visit http://www.warwickartscentre.co.uk It's a popular venue with even more popular acts/shows on so keep checking the site to make sure you don't miss out!! read more

Goes well with the arts centre, wide selection of drinks, coffee, small snacks, pastries and cakes. Open all day!

I first went to a screening of an obscure French film years ago and put myself down on the mailing list. Since then, I have regularly visited the Arts Centre and the cinema. There are events thoughout the year, but don't think it will be for students only, visitors come sometimes from far away to events. The plays for children have never disappointed us, there are regular stand up comedians, arts exhibitions, special seasonal events and the auditorium hosts concerts from world renouned orchestras. Prices for classical concerts can be very cheap, some balcony seats start at £5! My favourite event so far was a Tchaikovski concert by the orchestra of Prague (I think) followed by dinner in the centre's restaurant. I love the setting, half cafeteria half grown up school cantine, and the food is excellent, but also child friendly. Prices are very reasonnable. I give the centre 5 stars because of the quality and versatility of events on offer. read more

Fantastic venue for wide variety of theatre, music and cinema My preferred option for going to see films now- get too irritated at other multiplex places!! a gem of a palce to have in the city read more

this place is really classy and is nice inside. Nice little cafe on the ground floor, but the best thing is that even though it's a little campus arts centre (or feels like it is) they have a great eclectic mix of performers and entertainers, plays and comedians. always manage to find something that I would want to go and see here. parking is plentiful too. read more

This is a fantastic arts centre which i have visited many times. It really is an all round centre hosting comedians like Jimmy Carr and Dara O'Brien and productions like pantomimes at christmas and family shows throughout the year. It is also a small cinema showing the latest films. Although the centre is situated on or very close to the warwick university campus it is not overrun with students and people of all ages wouldn't feel out of place their on the whole. read more

I havent used their facilities here yet (except the coffee shop), but its a good place to hang out with fellow students. it is a very modern building with nice architectural interior. there is a book shop inside to buy the necessary course textbooks and a mini theatre/cinema to watch movies (although not as up-to-date as odeon cinemas). its worth a visit because its one of warwick university's main attraction. read more

I wish Warwick Arts Centre was in Birmingham - in fact maybe the new mac will be like this place. It is excellent. The main house is really good - the sightlines are good from wherever you sit so that pretty much you can get away with buying the cheaper tickets. The studio is a really lovely space - I really like intimate theatre spaces and I'd say this is one of the best in the area. I've recently seen Shared Experience at wac and although I didn't like that production, it reinforced what a great arts centre this is. I haven't been to the Mead Gallery for a few years but again, it's a nice space for the changing exhibitions they have there. The centre also has a cd/dvd shop which is good, with a great selection and very reasonable prices. The only thing that lets the centre down I think is the anonymous cafe bar and upstairs bar as well! read more
