Phoenix Cinema and Arts Centre

Phoenix Cinema and Arts Centre is a cinema and gallery building in Leicester with four screening rooms arranged across multiple floors alongside two gallery spaces. The building brings together spaces for watching films, viewing art, and having refreshments in one location.

The venue opened in 2009 as part of a plan to transform a former industrial area of Leicester into a cultural destination. This development helped revive a neglected part of the city and brought film and art activities to the neighborhood.

The venue showcases work by local and international artists across its gallery spaces, shaping how visitors encounter contemporary art and cinema together. People come here to experience how different creative forms speak to each other within the same building.

The venue offers specialized screenings for visitors with autism, sight loss, and hearing impairments, making it accessible to different audiences. Plan your visit based on the type of film or exhibition happening when you want to go, as the program changes regularly.

The venue runs specialized programs and exhibitions that actively include people with different abilities, making it a rare kind of cultural space. This commitment to access shows throughout the place, from the screening rooms to the galleries themselves.
