Independent Venue Week (#IVW) is the UK’s annual 7-day celebration of independent music & arts venues and the people that own, run and work in them (that's us!)
This #IVW24 The Ferret presents a series of shows that we're really proud of. If you can make it to one or more of them, brilliant - let's see you down the front. 2 shows already sold out, so get your tickets as soon as you can!
Let's come together and celebrate these special places, which are the backbone of the live music scene. From giving artists their first experience of performing live, fans somewhere to discover and watch their favourite artists locally, they also provide those wanting a career off-stage the chance to learn their craft in a safe and secure environment. Independent Venue Week is a nationwide initiative with a local feel, highlighting why venues are so much more than just places for live music – they are cultural hubs for learning, creativity, arts and culture more widely connecting people in their local community of all ages, backgrounds, abilities, genders, ethnicities, skills, experiences and walks of life.
Here are our listings for the week:
