The Athenaeum Centre
Wiltshire’s oldest working theatre. Built in 1857, The Athenæum is a fine grade II listed building at the heart of the historic market town of Warminster. The Athenæum has a long and colourful history of use from a literary institution, lecture hall, theatre, to a cinema and now a vibrant centre for the community. It hosts a diverse range of community groups, classes and activities within its many rooms. The Centre is held in Trust by and for the people of Warminster and is operated by a dedicated team of volunteers.
