Swindon Arts Centre, Arts centre in Old Town, Swindon, United Kingdom.
Swindon Arts Centre is an arts venue in Old Town featuring a 212-seat theatre, a smaller performance studio, and bar services alongside an integrated library within the same building. The layout allows for multiple events to happen simultaneously, accommodating both large theatre productions and intimate performances.
The venue opened in 1956 as a new cultural space for the community and has served artists and audiences for many decades. A major renovation in 2010 modernized the facilities and merged the town library into the building itself.
The venue serves as a gathering place for local artists and audiences to experience theatre productions, comedy, and musical performances throughout the year. It plays an active role in the community by offering spaces where different art forms are shared and celebrated.
The centre is located within easy walking distance of Old Town's central area and accessible from nearby streets. The interior layout is clear and straightforward, making it simple for visitors to find their way to performances or events.
The building combines theatrical spaces and performance venues with a public library all under one roof, creating an unusual blend of cultural and community functions. Visitors can browse the library before a show or relax in the bar afterward without leaving the building.
