Bedworth Civic Hall

The Bedworth Civic Hall is a multi-purpose entertainment venue in the town centre of Bedworth, Warwickshire, England.

The centrepiece of the venue is a 763-seat hall, other facilities included a gallery, meeting rooms, a bistro, a coffee bar and a small hall.

History
The facility was opened in September 1973. It was owned and managed by Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council. In 2004, the hall underwent a major refurbishment costing £1.4 million. In 2021, the hall was used as a vaccination centre during the COVID-19 pandemic. In October 2022 the borough council announced that the Civic Hall would close permanently, citing the cost of maintaining the venue, but they stated that it would be redeveloped into a new theatre and library. However in March 2024 it was announced that it would be reopened in phases, after the council transferred the running of the venue to a community-driven organisation, Bedworth Civic Hall Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) on a 20 year lease. It was reopened on 19 July 2024.

Notable acts
In 1990, the world famous opera singer Luciano Pavarotti sang here as a rehearsal with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra.
