Is there parking nearby?

Warwick Arts Centre recommends that you use the following near by car parks:

Cryfield Car Park: The entrance is opposite the Sports and Wellness Hub and is entered via the main peripheral route of campus. Aim to park at the furthest end from the Sports Hub and it is then an approx. 5 min walk away from the Arts Centre.

Central Campus: These are also numbered Car Park 8, Car Park 8A, Car Park 6, & Car Park 9 and are the nearest to the Arts Centre.

All campus car parks can be used by visitors to Warwick Arts Centre. There are no restrictions or staff-only car parks.
