The Apex is an award-winning venue, known for its acoustic excellence and home to a diverse programme of live music and events; from classical concerts to pop, rock, jazz, blues, world, country and folk, plus comedy and dance performances. It also hosts a number of community and corporate events, offering the local community and wider environs a unique and exciting space from which visitors can see a great selection of artists, bands and events. It has been very well publicised (and we never tire of hearing it!) that, as well as its architectural beauty, The Apex also has the very best acoustics, with many musicians who've played here describing it as the best acoustic in the UK, if not Europe: "Best new venue in the UK. Absolutely superb" - Funeral For A Friend "Best acoustic we’ve had in 40 years of touring" - Fairport Convention "The best hall we have ever played in" - The Escher String Quartet Food & Drink at The Apex The Apex Café in the foyer is open for delicious drinks (including triple-certified fair trade and organic coffee), cakes and snacks from 9.30am-5.30pm Monday-Saturday and from 10.30am-4pm on Sunday.
