What is the role and impact of culture in society? How does the creative sector contribute to the economy? And should we always place a monetary value on the arts in order to validate them? Our co-CEO, Sarah Vallance, shares her thoughts on these questions, and Phoenix's vital place in Leicester's creative landscape.

Our Café Bar is the perfect place to meet friends for a drink or a delicious meal, spend time catching up on work, or meet with clients. Our kitchen is open until 8.30pm, and 7pm on Sundays.

Our Access Cinema programme provides regular screenings with audio description, descriptive subtitles, and a relaxed environment particularly suitable for people with autism, ADHD and other sensory processing disorders.
