Latest news and updates 


It’s an interesting time for us this year, as we are evolving from our current shape to think about what Warwick Presents should be in the future. We can’t do that alone; we want you to work with us to inform our work and tell us what activities and events you really want to see in our programme.

That’s why we have launched ‘The Big Ask’, a student experience project that will enable us to hear your voices and understand how we need to change.

We also have lots of exciting events coming up during Global Celebrations Week, which is part of the wider One World Warwick celebrations. The highlight of the week will be the Global Light Procession, where we will light up our campus with a dazzling theatrical parade, plus lots of other exciting workshops and activities.

Diwali and Christmas are fast approaching too, so check out our events below.
