Village Underground

You can’t miss Village Underground thanks to the four brightly coloured, graffiti-covered tube carriages perched on its roof. But the main draw of this venue that opened as an affordable artists’ studio in 2009 is the renovated Victorian warehouse space inside. Set underneath some cavernous railway arches, Village Underground is one of the city’s most atmospheric gig and club venues, which often hosts top electronic DJs and exciting up-and-coming artists. Its studios also house around 30 creatives working in a range of disciplines, its previous tenants include the likes of immersive theatre company Punchdrunk and LGBTQ+ nightlife collective Sink the Pink.
