OPEN launches as a regular live music venue in March 2012. We will be running a mixture of club nights and gigs in the Club Room to start hosting both local and national bands on tour.
The Live Venue has a capacity of 1450 and the smaller Club Room is 450. We want to cover a variety of musical genres and hope very much that this venue will be a great experience for both music fans and musicians.
Keep looking here for updates.
OPEN is stunning venue for Norwich, converted from the 50,000 square foot, Grade II listed building at the junction of London Street and Bank Plain that was once the Barclays regional headquarters.
Following a renovation, this landmark building has been transformed from empty space into a contemporary venue with a wealth of state-of-the-art facilities.
Run by the OPEN Youth Trust Charity, the venue gives businesses a unique opportunity to hold their meetings, conferences or event whilst helping to fund positive programmes and activities for young people in Norfolk.
