The Junction's Community Link

The Junction was established around 20 years ago as a safer and legal alternative to the warehouse raves popular at the time, allowing first aid staff, police and security to have easy access to anybody in need of help - the raves had none of these safety features, often resulting in large drug deals, violence and general disregard to law.

"The Junction 1" (of 3 buildings) can take 1050 people, and was one of the first venues in the UK targeted at youths under the age of 30, offering a diverse and vibrant collection of performances, ranging from music to club nights and even theatre.
