About Northern Quarter

Northern Quarter is an independent live music venue and events space opened in December 2017. Welcoming and inclusive, the space host’s an array of music and performance from local and nationally touring live bands to Classic reggae vinyl dances, open mics and exhibitions. All powered through our custom built Axis Sound System PA. We have an all standing capacity limited at 120 but this reduces with seating options.

Access to NQ is at street level, with four steps inside the front door which give access to the venue. Steps are 104cm wide and the doorway is 78cm.

The area to the right of the entrance, ahead to the bar and access to toilets is all on one level. The area directly in front of the stage is on a slightly lower level which is accessed by two steps.

If you require a seat for the show. We can provide a seat to the right hand side of the entrance and the stage.
