Brampton's Premier Live Music Venue
Born from a shared vision to reconnect community through live music. An intimate venue showcasing jazz, blues, and contemporary artists, creating professional experiences with emerging and established talent in the heart of Cumbria.
About Live @ Union Lane
Live @ Union Lane is the brainchild of local jazz aficionado David Gosling and James Burke of Brampton and Beyond Community Trust. Born out of a shared desire to rekindle the community's connection through live music, the venue has established itself as a focal point for high-calibre acts from across the country and one of Cumbria's most respected intimate music venues.
Located at Brampton Community Centre, Union Lane has been magically transformed from a community hall into an atmospheric live music space. We are dedicated to differentiating live music events from typical community centre offerings, creating an intimate, professional venue that supports exceptional local musicians while presenting performers with national and international reputations across diverse musical genres.
The venue has gained recognition within the music community as one of Cumbria's most respected intimate music venues, serving as more than just a music venue - it's a community hub where success relies heavily on local support and involvement.
