John Peel Centre for Creative Arts

John Peel Centre for Creative Arts The John Peel Centre is a vibrant grassroots live music venue and community space based in Suffolk.

The John Peel Centre for Creative Arts is an ambitious project to provide a lasting tribute to the life and career of the much-loved broadcaster and create a high quality, community-owned, Arts Centre in the heart of Suffolk. The team behind the project set out to bring an unused and decaying historic building back into use and create an inspirational environment to foster the creative energy of l

ocal people and enable wider enjoyment of the arts. We want to help people to access and participate in cultural activities and events. Our goal is to see more members of the community able to participate in and enjoy the benefits of pursuing their own artistic endeavours and supporting the efforts of others. Please send all enquiries regarding hires and bookings to [email protected]

We’re sorry to let you know that The Leylines’ performance this Saturday will need to be rescheduled. The band has sent their sincere regrets; they were just as excited as we were to return to Stowmarket but are unfortunately unable to perform on this date.

We’re already working with them to set a new date, so please keep an eye out for updates.

If you’ve purchased tickets, you’ll receive an email shortly with details about refunds and ticket options.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support!
