Warwickartscentre Reviews 2

Amazing venue with 3 different rooms

I have been here more than a dozen times over the last 3 years for various events

The staff are super helpful, go above and beyond especially the volunteer stewards.

As for the other review about the carpark a week prior to the event you have booked you receive a welcome pack email telling you where the best parking is. There’s 3 carparks (5 if you include disabled bay parking zones) and they run on ANPR that you can either prepay online, pay by phone or pay by machine in the Warwick arts centre building. It also tells you alternative travel modes

The only thing I say is arrive 10 mins earlier than you would normally as it’s a one way system in single file with multiple crossings making it a very slow process and it’s better to be early than be late for the start of a show

Went to a performance of Grimethorpe Colliery Band Sunday 26/04/2026 with great anticipation.
Performers fantastic. What went wrong ? Without doubt, the worst car parking facilities in the country. Why ? Signage for parking fees mounted at 8 -9ft or higher. Try getting a QR code on that in bright sunshine ! I had to reach blindly to try to capture...Then other signs advised "Do not use this QR coding system it was corrupted ???!!! Eventually, (after a really nauseating few attempts) managed to "Get IT". However, knowing full well that a nasty fine would follow if not "compliant" we almost "abandoned ship" so angry did this bloody minded arrangement make us. Then, when entering the Centre we were bumped around the place as signage / directions insufficient to afford an easy routing to theatre entrance. Let me be clear, both my wife and I totally agreed, never use this place for a performance of our choices. Just not worth the hassle !!!! Others better.
