Warwick Arts Centre is the largest purpose-built arts centre outside London. Opened in 1974 and situated at the heart of the University of Warwick, in Coventry, we're home to a variety of spaces including a concert hall, theatre, two studios, three cinemas and an art gallery. Almost one million people visit us every year, with many more engaging in our activities across communities and other spaces.

We're passionate about the arts, and how it has the power to move, connect, inspire and present new possibilities; we're here to amplify under-represented voices, nurture the next generation of creatives, and serve as a vibrant and welcoming social hub for all.

Warwick Arts Centre is committed to building a diverse and inclusive workforce. We particularly welcome applications from people who are currently underrepresented in the arts sector, including people of Global Majority heritage, those from lower socio-economic backgrounds, and disabled people. We recognise that a greater diversity of backgrounds, experiences and perspectives enriches the arts and strengthens our organisation.

We’re here to share our love for the arts

We believe the arts are a place we can all meet - a place to share our experiences, a place to find common ground and understanding, a place to connect and have the courage to transform and explore new possibilities together.

Experiences you’ll feel and never forget – be it joy, excitement or sadness and whoever you are, wherever you’re from
