The Faversham Competitors

London's iconic, palace of modern variety since 1900. SHOWS! COMEDY! MOVIE NIGHTS! LIVE MUSIC! DRAG! SPORT! BRUNCH Big Saturday club nights & BONGO'S BINGO! The Grand was established in 1900 by some of the most popular performers of the time. Launched at the height of the Music Hall, since then a cinema, a bingo hall a nightclub, The Grand has always remained true to its original aim: to entertain. In recent years The Grand has revived its original mission: the perfect blend of variety and quality. With Themed film screenings or an irreverent take on bingo one night, and world-class comedians, musicians and DJs the next. We are reinventing the best of the past for new audiences. The Clapham Grand provides the perfect setting for photoshoots, filming, launches or corporate away-days. A Victorian music hall built in 1900, The Clapham Grand can hold 1240 people standing or 700 seated and features a Martin Audio sound system, 25ft cinema screen and a full lighting rig. We also can provide four operational bars with staff, sound & lighting engineers and a licensed security team. Some of our previous clients include The BBC, Cafe Nero & Nandos.

The Old Market (or TOM, as we like to call it) was opened in 2011 by creators of the global percussive phenomenon STOMP to create an independent hub for the arts in their home city and channel some of their success back in to the local arts eco system. Under the directorship of Loretta Sacco and starting with just two staff in 2011, we now employ a passionate and engaged team of 46 full, part time and casual staff to deliver our busy schedule. The festival-like programme at TOM is the cornerstone of our identity. We host over 200 different events every year from our multi-format (300 seat, 500 standing capacity) space. Over 55,000 people come through our doors each year to experience live music, film, boundary breaking theatre, dance, cabaret, comedy, literature, workshops and performances using new technologies, as part of our #TOMtech programme. We are proud to work with local artists, major cultural festivals, independent promoters and esteemed national arts organisations, bringing even greater breadth to our programme. Of course, we always keep an open mind for the future, and with the introduction of our Gig for a Gig scheme, we’re also proud to support the best emerging talent and nurture their growth so that the arts can thrive for years to come. Keep an eye out for our ‘TOM’ tags - these indicate our hand-picked events that we know you’ll love. Follow us on social media, we post interesting stuff and occasionally we can be a bit funny. Have a drink in the intimate setting of TOM’s Bar. Do all of this, and most importantly, come and see what’s going on at Brighton’s ‘hidden gem’ (not our words…) We can’t wait to welcome you soon!

The Brudenell is a lively and fun loving venue in Leeds that embraces music and art under a wide and diverse umbrella that has no boundaries.
