Before the pandemic, The Artrix was celebrated as the premier theatre destination in Bromsgrove, but when Covid struck, the venue transformed into a vaccination centre, serving the community in a vital new way. After this, The Artrix remained closed, reopening briefly in November 2023 to host Solihull’s The Core productions whilst they underwent renovations.
The true revival came in April 2024, when The Artrix officially reopened its doors. Since then, the theatre has gone from strength to strength, showcasing an exciting line-up of tribute acts, comedy nights, and theatrical productions.
Beyond the stage, The Artrix has once again become a hub for the local community. Youth groups and classes fill the building every week, ensuring that the venue continues to inspire the next generation of performers and audiences alike.
A highlight of the past year was the theatre’s pantomime, which proved to be the best-selling event on the calendar. Building on that success, anticipation is already high for this year’s festive production of Treasure Island.
Run by a fantastic team of volunteers, the Artrix has an eclectic array of shows already on the books for 2026 and will soon be opening their 2027 diary. We always welcome new volunteers to help usher shows, work on the bar or run box office.
There is also the opportunity to host your meetings at The Artrix, with rooms that can host anything from small 1-2-1’s to 300 capacity conferences.
