Things to do in Coventry this September
It’s back-to-school season, so make your family time count this September! If you’re trying to plan the perfect family day out this month, there’s something for everyone this September here at the Arts Centre. Why not be inspired by some of this month’s highlights?
What's on in the Gallery
This September, the Mead Gallery welcomes you to a very exciting event which forms one of our celebrations for the University of Warwick’s landmark 60th Anniversary. So, prepare to be blown away by a ground-breaking experience that mixes music, Virtual Reality, and gaming. In Pursuit of Repetitive Beats, created by immersive artist Darren Emerson and produced by East City Films, will take you back to 1989 and into the heart of the Acid House scene in Coventry. Offering an interactive rave experience, it is not one to be missed!
What’s even better is that this experience is designed for groups of up to 4 people, making it ideal for you to bring your friends or family, so be sure to book!
