Sport and the Arts
Celebrating the arts
The Arts have always been an important part of Loughborough University. Over the years we have developed a lively and original arts programme which is enjoyed by students, staff and the local community.
By embracing the Arts we have been able to enhance the intellectual, social and cultural environment of the University and build links with a diverse range of groups and organisations from outside the campus.
The University’s Arts Centre offers a variety of events throughout the year and is the hub of activity for a wide range of instrumental and vocal tuition for students from well-qualified and experienced teachers.
It has a 300-seat theatre, a 100-seat studio and a 250-seat auditorium, where concerts and dance and drama productions are staged by visiting artists and the University’s own highly talented students. There is also a thriving choir, orchestra and concert band, which are open to all students and staff without audition, and give regular performances.
The University Arts Programme commissions and presents new work by national and internationally recognised artists. This involves a programme of performances, installations and interventions, complemented by talks and discussions.
