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 se

e 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
