The Core Theatre
About This Museum
You might not expect to find a vibrant arts hub tucked between a John Lewis and a multi-storey car park, but The Core Theatre is exactly that. It's a defiantly creative space in the heart of Solihull's bustling Touchwood shopping centre. Far from a single-stage venue, its corridors buzz with the energy of rehearsals, art exhibitions, and intimate studio performances. This place feels less like an institution and more like a living, breathing part of the community's cultural pulse.
Collection Highlights
The 'collections' here are wonderfully transient—one week it might be bold abstract paintings from a local artist, the next, haunting black-and-white photography. The real highlight is the performance roster itself, an eclectic mix of amateur dramatics, professional touring shows, and side-splitting comedy nights.
Visitor Information
Grab a coffee in the atrium after the show; it's the perfect spot to dissect the performance. And if you're driving, you're already in the Touchwood car park—just remember to get your ticket validated at the box office.
Architecture & Building
A modern, glass-fronted building that seamlessly blends into its retail surroundings, with a bright, airy atrium that serves as its social heart.
