Attenborough Arts Centre is your Arts & Culture Hub at the University of Leicester.

Everyone is welcome to experience our free exhibitions, Café, Shop and study spaces. We have lots of free and affordable events right here on campus, plus student discounts for creative and craft courses.

We even have selected Pay What You Can (PWYC) events and shows were you decide how much you want to pay. This expands access to the arts for all.

Enjoying the arts has never been easier, and it’s a great way to take time out from your studies to relax, socialise and pick up new skills and experiences!
