VAULT: NEW VENUE

We recently announced that we are taking on a vacant space in Zone 1, Central London, and transforming it into a brand new, multi-venue centre of live performance. It will be a long-term home for VAULT, hosting a range of creative opportunities, festivals and events across the year.

All the details, including the location, details of our plans, programmes and more will be released in early 2024. In the meantime, keep your eyes peeled on our socials for teasers and behind the scenes progress!

Heads Up!

VAULT and VAULT Festival are sometimes confused with the former hub of VAULT Festival, 'The Vaults', which is an events venue run by a different team in a different way. We are VAULT, not The Vaults.
