The Creative Innovation Centre (CICCIC) occupies the Memorial Hall on Paul Street in the heart of Taunton town centre, with parking nearby. Founded in 2012, it's a not-for-profit arts, culture and creative-industries centre that doubles as one of the few performance spaces in the town: a gallery and roughly 100-capacity room hosting live music, comedy, stand-up, poetry, film evenings and workshops, with a well-stocked bar and hot drinks all day. Its 'CICCIC Introducing' nights spotlight emerging local artists across mixed genres, and a house PA supports both original acts and covers. The programme runs from daytime orchestra concerts and Sunday lunchtime big-band jazz to evening blues-guitar, ska and reggae dance nights (evening gigs typically start at 8.15pm, doors 7.30pm), alongside the Taunton Comedy Club's pro stand-up nights. A genuine community hub that fills a real gap for live performance in Taunton.
