What is the UK Music Rehearsal Space Project?

UK Music support a number of rehearsal spaces in urban and rural areas across the UK. Each space provides instruments and equipment for young people to use and play with for free or for minimal cost. The rehearsal spaces come in various shapes and sizes and are sited in places as diverse as youth work settings, community spaces, art centres, a secondary school and even a travelling mobile unit.

Originally established in 2009 with funding from DCMS the project will be reviewed in 2021 to ensure it remains as relevant and useful to young people and their communities as possible.
