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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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
