Liz Healey, manager at the Visitor Information Centre, said: “It was a very successful evening with the Mayor of Warwick welcoming the local artists and cutting the ribbon to open the local artists hub.
"We had members of the public popping in too throughout the evening.
“If you are a local artist interested in displaying your work here please contact Paula Fletcher on 01926 492212 or [email protected].

“There is always lots going on at the centre.
"The much-loved model of the runaway tram is back on display, our next craft fair is on June 1 and we will also be putting on a D-Day exhibition with the help of Ashley Garrison-Brown and the teams from the military museums in Warwick.
"A new leaflet, the Warwick Military Heritage Trail is also available and we are continuing our community coffee mornings on Mondays.”
