A multi-purpose education, arts, and community space in Leamington has been selected as one of only 46 successful projects in the prestigious 2026 Civic Trust Awards.

The Stoneleigh Arts and Old School Leamington Spa was one of those chosen from over 300 entries worldwide to receive either a Civic Trust Award or a Highly Commended distinction.

The awards celebrate outstanding architecture, planning, and design that make a positive contribution to local communities. 

This project represents a multitude of input, from the surrounding communities to firstly shape the reuse, renovation, rebuild and extension of the existing site cluster of an Old School and the Stoneleigh Arms pub with Future High St Funding into a community and arts site, for creative workspace and pocket park.

The team worked with a team of partners, including Intervention Architecture, Warwick District Council, Way PM, Kavannagh Construction and Edge Structural Engineering.

The level of its success will be revealed at the 67th Annual Civic Trust Awards Ceremony on Friday 27 March 2026.
