Warwick Arts Centre Opening Celebrations | October 2021

As Warwick Arts Centre reopens its doors, the Coventry venue welcomes visitors back with a series of free activities and pop-up performances.

Dates:

• Opening Celebrations | 2nd - 3rd October
• Free Activities Available | 1st - 3rd October
• Pop Up Performances | 4th - 9th October

Following the biggest transformation in the building’s 47 year history, Warwick Arts Centre’s undergone a significant upgrade, with a more spacious and welcoming foyer, three state-of-the-art new cinema screens, and more.

The Opening Celebrations begin on Friday 1 October 2021 with buskers and dance performers outside the venue and in the foyer, while Saturday 2 and Sunday 3 October (10am-4pm) is focussed on welcoming families and friends with two days of free performances, creative workshops, artist-led activities, buskers, and more. Highlights include free screenings of PAW Patrol: The Movie and delightful animated compilation Nature’s Tales, plus workshops covering such activities as stop motion animation, dance, and origami.

Meanwhile, the outside of the building will be dominated by Air Giants’ Coral Avenue (1-4 Oct). A group of joyful interactive inflatable robots inspired by undersea life, these impressive ‘creatures’ respond to passers-by.

There will also be guided tours of the building, allowing visitors to see not just the impressive new public areas, but also behind the scenes of the much-loved venue

Throughout the week (4-9 Oct), the centre will also host free drop-in workshops for visitors (from 1.30pm-4pm) covering textiles/ stitching, photography and beatbox poetry, followed by pop-up performances each day from 6.30pm-7.30pm, prior to ticketed events from Caroline Criado Perez (5 Oct), New Art Club (6-7 Oct), Russell Brand (7 Oct) and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (8 Oct).
