The new multi-purpose public venue now being built in the heart of Bury St Edmunds will be called The Apex.
The name reflects the high points both of the structure itself and our cultural aspirations for the future.
The exciting new multi-purpose venue will be bringing a buzz to the heart of Bury St Edmunds in 2010 – and soon it will start to make its name known throughout the region.
The Apex will host a wide variety of events such as concerts, performances, exhibitions, wedding receptions (and we're looking to get licensed so we can have marriages and partnership registrations), dinners, dances, conferences, seminars, markets and dance classes.
The modern multi-purpose auditorium with its two balconies and full backstage support facilities will be fully accessible and have a state-of-the art floor and seating system. This means it will be flexible enough to cater for a multitude of functions, including:
- 500 people seated theatre style for performances and seminars;
- more than 700 standing for concert performances;
- up to 350 for dinner dances and wedding receptions; and
- various combinations of conferencing set-ups.
In addition to the auditorium there will also be three smaller rooms that can be hired individually or as syndicate rooms. There's also a large range of equipment and services on offer so whether it's a small business meeting or large conference the venue will be able to cater for your individual needs.
