Cambridge Junction on Clifton Way (next to Cambridge Leisure Park, CB1 7GX) is the city's flagship contemporary arts centre and music venue, where music, comedy, theatre and creative learning meet. It runs three spaces: J1, the main 1,050-capacity standing room used for the music and club programme; J2, a 220-seat theatre; and J3, a 60-capacity studio for smaller performances and artist development. With a professional in-house technical setup and full backline, it hosts touring and emerging acts across rock, indie, electronic and pop, and is served by a multi-storey car park right next to the venue.
