Visited the venue to see Dick Whittington panto. Although a family show, there were funny innuendos that were for the adults. It was a fabulous show full of laughter, fun and energetic dancing. Would highly recommend a visit here.
Also, a bonus a warm and clean reception and toilets. Great!

Nice venue, but if you're selling the place out then chronically short on parking spaces. Such a shame. Nobody on the gate to inform you that the small car park was full, so causing gridlock. All the tickets weren't sold either so it could have been even worse.

I visited this venue for the first time just over a week ago to watch Supreme Queen. From the outside the building looks like a school, which I later found out had previously been the case. Not having been there before, it wasn't obvious to me that I was in the right place. I saw some members of staff who took me through a door marked 'Forest Arts Centre.' I was actually looking for the Walsall A3 Arena which I thought was a separate building entirely. This is not a conventional theatre and in fact has multiple uses including cinema screenings, dance classes and a recording studio to name a few I noticed!
The box office is very tiny. There are plenty of places to sit in the very long foyer. The building seems huge with corridors and stairs leading everywhere. The toilets in the foyer are very clearly marked and were very clean.
There are in fact three auditoriums here. The concert was in Auditorium 3, which although signposted was difficult to find. A number of people were asking the woman in the box office where to go and even when following her directions people were still becoming confused and queuing in the wrong place. The signage really needs to be improved to prevent that happening in the future.
There is no bar in this venue and I don't think any hot drinks were being served. If you want a hot drink, you have to use the vending machines down the corridor to the left of the box office. The staff call it a bar but it is in fact a few members of council staff standing behind trestle tables in Auditorium 2 selling bottles of alcohol.
To get to Auditorium 3, you have to go just inside Auditorium 2 and then go through the first door on your left. There is no signage at all once you leave the foyer. It really is this complicated! You then have to follow a long corridor down to the auditorium. There are more toilets at the beginning of the corridor which are very useful as you don't need to walk all the way back to the foyer to use them there, however there may be more toilets that I am not aware of.
I have now been in a number of venues over the years and judge this particular auditorium to be excellent. Every seat has a perfect view of the stage and if you sit in the front row as I did, then you will be very close to the artists! The acoustics are superb. It proved to be a perfect venue for live music. The seats are very comfortable and there seems to be ample legroom between the rows.
I would definitely visit this venue again and now that I know where to find Auditorium 3, I won't get lost next time. Newcomers to the venue were getting lost however, so this needs to be rectified very quickly so that it doesn't spoil peoples theatre going experience.
