Athena

Located in the vibrant Cultural Quarter of Leicester, the venue was initially conceived in 1936 by Robert Arthur Bullivant as an Odeon Cinema. At the time of its inception, it was one of the most grandiose structures in the area, boasting a single screen with the capacity to accommodate over 3000 guests. Today, the building has been meticulously restored to its original grandeur, preserving its classic art deco elegance. It now seats up to 1200 people and serves as a premier destination for high-quality entertainment.
