Accessibility around the building
We’re on a mission to make sure the extraordinary mix of the arts we share is matched by the extraordinary mix of people who share it with us. With our new building we’re here to open the doors wider than ever before.
Your Visit
We strive to make our building as accessible as possible. If you have any concerns or access requirements, please contact our Box Office and we will be able to advise you accordingly.
We have worked with AccessAble so you can find out about our facilities before you visit. AccessAble’s surveyors assessed our venue to create a Detailed Access Guide.
Check out the Detailed Access Guide to Warwick Arts Centre here. You can find guides to different areas of the building below.
