It's a renovated church playing host to all kinds of music, there is a bar area with couches, a 150 capacity main stage, and recording studios. Last Christmas Eve they held a hip hop night with loads of DJs and Willy Wonka playing on the projection screen, was absolutely class. This is what the town has been needing for ages. www.theforumonline.co.uk
