Here We Aren't is a grassroots music venue in Peterborough.
Listing notesHere We Aren't (HWA) is a DIY music hub at 18 Godric Square in Peterborough that rolls a recording studio, a record label and a small live venue into one building. The space is used for recording, rehearsal and live-streaming as well as gigs and DJ events, and the crew also promote and release visual and aural art from the Peterborough area. Regular strands include Open Decks DJ nights, the Good Shout! poetry open mic and alternative live music nights (LaFat32 ran an alternative evening here on 8 August 2026 - Nostalgix rave nights in March and May 2026). Listings sites give the room a capacity of c. 70, making it one of the city's most intimate stages and a natural first booking for original bands and producers.
