The Roundhouse

From modest Victorian beginnings – as a steam engine repair shed – to legendary cultural venue, the Roundhouse has an enviable heritage few are able to match.

The Roundhouse is a pioneer of contemporary culture and has continually pushed boundaries. Today the Roundhouse offers diversity in music, theatre, dance and circus, in addition to nurturing young creative talent.

Their artistic programme include circus, music festivals, large scale theatre, multi-media festivals, installations, talks and screenings but it is the organisation’s focus on young people that makes it a leader. The Roundhouse places young people at its heart, involving them at every level, from membership of the Board of Directors to generating marketing campaigns.

Throughout the year the Roundhouse delivers creative projects for up to 6,000 13-25 year-olds from all backgrounds, covering radio, music production, drama, poetry, TV, sound engineering, photography, VJ skills and more.

This year the Accidental Festival will join the Roundhouse’s prestigious repertoire of young people lead work. It will inhabit the labyrinth of spaces around the central hub as well as the FREEDM Studio and provide diverse platforms for interdisciplinary art and performance.
