the Kenilworth Centre has hosted a community Radio Station for

over 10 years and in 2023 we had a wonderful opportunity to

provide the community with broadcast quality recording studios,

offering young people, local business and audio enthusiasts a

unique recording facility in the heart of Kenilworth.

The Studio is now housed in an Esmono Sound Booth within the

centre and will be used to broadcast Radio Abbey as well as be

available to hire for a range of recordings from Podcasts to Audio

Drama and Music.

The Esmono Sound Booth itself has an amazing history and

previously was housed at Ladbroke Studios in London, where it was

host to many celebrities including Bill Nighy, Indira Varma and 

Andy Serkis, and produced Terry Pratchett’s Discworld in Audio,

Doctor Who audio drama and much much, more.  We are very

grateful to Ladbroke Audio for giving us this opportunity to give

the studio a new lease of life and we invite you to be part of it. 

“Podcasts are a great way to engage with your audience and to

have your voice heard, this facility will enable local business and

groups to begin or continue their podcast journey locally while being

able to engage with an audience worldwide, we are also very

excited to have these facilities available for our Youth Club”. –

Sarah Jane McCaffrey, tKC Centre Manager

But, with licences, staff and untilities it costs nearly £800 a month to keep these facilities going. The income from hire to business help support th studios, but we want to keep them accessible to everyone and offer more creative oppotunities for all. To do this we need your help.
