The Apex Award winning live music & entertainment venue in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. All works are for sale, unless otherwise stated.
(696)

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. You can enjoy your drinks and snacks at a table in the foyer, out in Charter Square if the weather's pleasant, or upstairs in the Lounge to take in the beautiful artworks on display in the Art Gallery.

On Friday night we hosted The NMG Awards, a music awards initiative celebrating the achievements and potential of artists based in East Anglia.

Now in its 15th year, the evening plays a key role in developing and encouraging young talent on their initial steps towards a career in music.

New Music Generator founder (and Apex Front of House Manager!) Tim Willett was presented with a surprise award recognising 15 years of dedication and commitment to giving independent artists in East Anglia a platform, and received a well-deserved standing ovation👏 Congratulations Tim!

A huge well done to everyone involved. We look forward to hosting again next year!

Always nice to receive good reviews ... thank you 😀
