“Every single time that the Roundhouse opens its doors something wonderful happens” – Antony Gormley, OBE

The Roundhouse is an iconic music and performance venue that is recognised as one of London’s best places to see live music - an architecturally unique setting that attracts major artists while offering an unusual and intimate audience experience. We’ve also established a reputation as the London home of contemporary circus.

What fewer people know is that the Roundhouse is more than just a great venue – we work with around 3,000 11-25 year-olds every year, supporting them to reach their creative potential by offering them opportunities in music, media and the performing arts. This is the founding concept on which the reinvented Roundhouse was built, and the reason behind everything we do.

We believe that participation in arts activity unlocks young people’s creative skills, empathy, knowledge and self-confidence, and that this will help them to live fulfilling lives and contribute in a positive way to society. By offering a range of programmes and projects across art forms and at various levels of engagement we ensure that any 11-25 year old who wants to be involved in a creative activity can find something to capture his or her imagination at the Roundhouse.
