Our Venue

Studio Space

Our venue is a repurposed TV studio transformed into a state-of-the-art arena space accommodating audience numbers of up to 900

In a strive to establish our status as the best, most technologically advanced music arena in East Anglia; the studio offers unrivalled lighting and sound facilities to cater for a diverse roster of events. Boasting a £500,000 sound and lighting apparatus, including world acclaimed Martin Audio MLA sound system and a profoundly skilled technical team, there is no gig experience like this side of London. Epic is firmly-focused on pioneering spotless, crystal clear audio and dazzling optical displays that impress audiences and artists alike.

The studio space is fully customisable and can adapt to every event’s needs. Including a full standing or seated crowd in theatre style or tables and chairs, reduced size intimate gig spaces, lecture hall style or arena sports including boxing, darts, wrestling and more. It is the only venue in the area with this amount of customisation.

Down the side of the studio is Norwich’s longest bar, having it in the studio means guests can access drinks without leaving the atmosphere of the room. Our bar team can also provide table service during events that require it.
