Legend . - music of Bob Marley, Brilliant show 1st class, lights and sound fantastic. Had everyone up and dancing. clean and tidy venue, Bar available, and the toilets were clean. Excellent Evening.

Didn’t know what to expect when we got there… having never been before. The set up is really good. Would definitely go again. Went to see the last days of disco and they were amazing..

Visited during Christmas for pantomime and the venue is excellent, clean and tidy and the seating is well laid ou. Enjoyed the pinto ns venue highly recommended

Firstly I would like to point out that finding the Walsall Arena wasn't that easy. I suppose if you know the area it's easy. I don't and I think it could be better signposted. Just to make it clear there are a set of traffic lights about every 50 meters in Walsall so you do need to know what lane you need to be in when you approach a junction. Getting out of Walsall and back on the M6 was a total nightmare. Due to roadworks at Junction 10 was closed and there were diversion signs everywhere, some pointing you back to where you have just come from. I put my escape from Walsall down to pure luck.

The venue was OK, I don't know the history of the building but it doesn't seem to have been built as a venue, the main auditorium seems relatively new. When booking tickets, the area to the front are on a flat floor, on what I would describe as conference seating. After a couple of hours you know about it. The seats towards the rear are staggered and looked more comfortable. The staff were pleasant and helpful.

Visited to see The Three Degrees
.
The theatre is part of a collage complex
Good, free car parking on site - this was an evening performance, unsure about day-time
Very pleasant staff - felt welcomed and secure in the building
Toilets clean and easily available
Large bar area - fair prices

Seats slightly close together.
The sound and acoustics were amazing, one of the best we heard on the tour. People were able to boogie if so wished.

The Three Degrees were outstanding. And I really do mean outstanding.

Would return - thanks very much

It was a funny evening. I really like this venue. It's well located, the seats are good, well spaced with plenty of leg room. Bar prices are reasonable and the Staff are nice. (Also you don't get the dance police telling you to sit down if you leave your seat for a bit of a dance when the music acts are on !) Worth a look to see what's on. The car parking is good and free.

Another fab night at Walsall Arena watching Ed Byrne ~ this place is a hidden gem! Looking forward to G4!

Saw Ed Byrne comedy show here, hilarious!
Great venue, friendly staff, well organised show.
Auditorium is large, good seating, fab lighting.

Visited for the first time. The venue is growing into an excellent venue. There are a wide variety of events to suit all. We saw Henning Wehn in the main arena, 95% sold out and an excellent evening. If I have a criticism the exits to the arena are all at the back and patience is required when it is full. This is not the Hippodrome or a West End theatre and does not pretend to be. It was nice to support a local venue. Will certainly visit again

We were here for the Henning Wehn show which was pretty much a sellout. He was certainly cracking jokes about the out of town location and the aircraft hanger appearance of the studio but the seats are comfortable with a good view. There is a room set up as a bar but they were nearly out of stock and encouraged people to go to trestle tables in another room - the latter was the only one open at the interval. The bell goes early thankfully as the entrance and exit to the room are very slow - I’ve been in football stadia with 40,000 attendance that you get out of more quickly than the banked seats at the back here which we thought could be a concern in an emergency. Ample free parking which clears quickly after the show

It’s an okay place. Looks okay... not the best place ever but it’s okay. It’s in a good area. I would recommend this place I guess

Very Impressed With This Venue, Didn't Know It Existed Until I Searched On-Line For Drifters Tickets, Had A Great Night Out, The Venue Is Spacious, Great Sound System & Lighting System, I would Not Hesitate To Return For Anything Of Interest - Top Marks To Walsall MBC For Developing A Great Venue.

Fantastic. Never thought of going to a pantomime here but will definitely recommend going. Laughed so much. Better value than Wolverhampton grand and better funny gags.

Went to the Forest Art Centre to see the Doren Tipton farce play, The Black Widow. An excellent night, very entertaining lots of laughs. Some excellent shows are due over the next few months, we've purchased our family tickets for this years Panto, mother Goose. Can't wait.

Went to a show which was very good indeed the staff were very helpful and all went according to plan. Could do with a slightly better staff arrangement at the break but apart form that it was excellent. They put on some excellent shows so take a look at the website and book your self a night out. Well worth a visit and needs to be supported. many different types of shows and bands etc so take a look. Plenty of free parking and large clean toilets so every thing you need. easy access for wheels chairs etc so all good.

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.

Love it here such a good range of shows a real hidden gem. Love the orchestra, recently went to the panto for 3rd year and again was great also seen differeny shows in the year and really liked them worth a visit and seeing what on!

Fabulous plays are put on which are very well acted, entertaining and inspiring. Have interlude drinks and their own parking

me and my wife went to see omid djalili .brilliant show .but bar facilities are joke .and my wife tried to book two tickets for a show in november the woman on reception has no idea of customer relations she let people jump the line in front of my wife and then asked if she could serve some other people first because she was dealing with the nights show first .so my wife gave up .if they want the venue to be more attractive perhaps more experienced staff would be advantageous

I visited the Forest Arts Centre for the first time last night. It is very close to the 301 and 302 bus routes and is a few minutes away from Walsall centre. The venue is nice and clean with lots going on for the community, they have a cinema which does not charge the earth and the bar is very reasonably priced! I will be taking my children to the cinema there.

The way that this building has developed shows some vision and an appetite to develop the arts in walsall. They do some great Schools concerts here - hopefully more people will find out about it,.
