We are a theatre and cinema complex which is owned and operated by Warwick District Council.

We are dedicated to bringing the best available theatre and entertainment to audiences in central Warwickshire and the wider region; and to offer those audiences a high quality experience when they visit us.



We are also committed to being the natural home to a wide range of local amateur arts and drama groups and other community organisations.

There are four buildings that we operate:

The Royal Spa Centre on Newbold Terrace, is a purpose built theatre and was opened in 1972 by Anthony Eden, the former Prime Minister and MP for Leamington Spa and Warwick. It has a main stage auditorium with 664 seats and a Studio Theatre with 188 seats, which also operates as a cinema.

The Town Hall on The Parade was opened in 1884 and has two main rooms. One, the Council Chamber is still used as such by Warwick District Council and the second, The Assembly Hall, is a 250 seat performance space used for a wide range of performances, hirings and events by local groups.

The Glasshouse Studio is part of the temperate house complex which opened in 1999 in Jephson Gardens. It is a contemporary teaching studio, exhibition space and meeting room which can accommodate up to 35 people .

The South Lodge is one of the original entrance lodges at Jephson Gardens and dates from around 1850. It is a small meeting and exhibition space which can accommodate up to 15 people.



How we are financed.

We are wholly owned and operated by Warwick District Council and receive no other income or grant funding from any other bodies.
