Description

The Nerve Centre was established in 1990 to provide a creative outlet for youth culture and the many young people who felt excluded from the "arts sector".

More than 120,000 people a year benefit from the Nerve Centre’s wide-ranging programme of arts events, cutting edge projects, creative learning centres, training opportunities, and state-of-the-art production facilities.
