Junction - Uk

The Junction is an innovative artistic centre in Cambridge, with a predominantly young audience, which combines popular rock band and 'club' events with a variety of performing arts, an education and children’s programme and the production of new work. In March 2005 The Junction opened three new spaces including a 220 capacity theatre next to its 1050 capacity live music and clubs space on Clifton Way.

The Junction presents over 1050 events each year to 150,000 customers. The programme includes contemporary music, theatre, clubs, comedy, dance, workshops and classes. These activities are supplemented by a range of multimedia, outreach, production and digital projects, as well as a commercial external event management company that offers a range of services to clients.

With a turnover of £3 million, eighty percent of income is self-generated and the organisation receives £400,000 of core public funding per annum from local, regional and national sources. The Junction is also a member of Trans Europe Halles, a European network of thirty venues that offer arts exchange and training programmes for local artists, staff and residents.
