Introducing the Venues back to top

The Junction is a vibrant centre of youth culture with a uniquely varied programme covering theatre & dance, live music, clubs, comedy and events for young people. We are committed to cutting-edge performances and developing new artists and audiences.

The Junction has three spaces:

The Junction 1
Opened in 1990, J1 is The Junction's live & loud space with a programme of gigs featuring both established names and rising stars. A standing only space, it has a capacity of up to 1050 and also hosts the biggest club events in Cambridge.

The Junction 2
J2 was opened in 2005 with lottery funding secured through Arts Council England. Inspired by Georgian courtyard theatre, it is an intimate and uniquely flexible 220-capacity space for both seated and standing events for The Junction's innovative programme of theatre, dance, comedy and world & roots music.

The Junction 3
J3 is The Junction's studio space, specifically designed with a sprung floor for rehearsals and artists' residencies. It is home to The Junction's performance development work.
