Leamington Town Hall
Built in 1884 from John Cundall’s designs, Leamington Spa Town Hall is a striking landmark on the bustling Parade, one of the district’s most vibrant streets. Its distinctive pinkish-red brick, sandstone ashlar accents, intricate fish-scaled Welsh slate roof, and towering 44-metre clock tower make this Grade II listed building a cherished icon of the area. Owned and operated by Warwick District Council (WDC), the Town Hall hosts a mix of hireable spaces and leased offices. The Assembly Hall is home to internationally acclaimed dance-circus company, Motionhouse. Here, they craft their world-class touring productions and run an array of community-focused classes, open rehearsals, and training projects, cementing the Town Hall’s status as a national dance training centre. The building also houses Leamington Music, Leamington Town Council, and key WDC corporate services. Its spaces include the historic Council Chamber and four versatile meeting rooms. Excitingly, Leamington Spa Town Hall is now embarking on the first stage of a transformative development, poised to enhance its role as a cultural and civic hub.

Temperance is the beating heart of Old Town – a magnificent Grade II listed building, centrally located between the station and the Parade, repurposed for modern Leamington. Most nights from 7pm they hold events, from live blues and folk music to National Theatre and live comedy. Their high-tech rooms (kitted out with a professional PA and cinema screen) are also available to hire for private parties and corporate and charity events.
