The Junctions role in the community.

This year is the 20th year The Junction has been running, boasting a thriving business that has provided the community with affordable, enjoyable and safe events for the past 20 years. The Junction began in 1990 as an alternative venue for ravers to party, trying to keep them out of abandoned buildings etc. The venue gave the ravers somewhere to party and made the community feel safer.

Since then The Junction as a venue has evolved beyond belief and developed into a 4 room venue providing live gigs with a 700 capacity main room, theatre events in a fully seated theatre and club nights spreading into the whole venue.

The Junction clearly promotes a venue space for community hire for events in Cambridge, for example drama productions by schools, Christmas or seasonal plays and local bands. The venue make a point of making sure the venue is affordable for hire by most people.

One of the biggest community driven events held at The Junction is the Junction Fiver event. an event that encourages young budding musicians to play in front of an audience considerably larger than they would normally get to play too.
