The town is also home to well known Arts venues, the Corn Exchange, Arlington Arts and The Watermill Theatre - hosting the very best in entertainment, music and comedy, and Vue cinema is also close by.

The countryside surrounding Newbury is part of the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.  The Kennet and Avon Canal runs right through the district from the outskirts of Reading to Hungerford.

Newbury is home to a top class racecourse as well as being home to the country's finest racing stables.
