The Square is a music venue in Harlow, Essex. The Square is funded by Essex County Council and is managed by Essex Youth Service.
As well as being a nationally recognized music venue, The Square also runs a series of performance and technical based courses for young people, opening the world of music to them in a way almost unparalleled anywhere else in the country.
The Square has had quite big acts play there before, including:
Biffy Clyro, Capdown, Blur, Oasis, Iron Maiden, Reuben, Oceansize, The Wife-Beaters, Captain Everything, Nerf Herder, Less Than Jake, lostprophets, Circumspect, Muse, Brigade, Coldplay, Feeder, The Quireboys, The Padingtons, Lagwagon, The Subways, and many more...
The venue also includes a small recording studio for bands to record at quite a cheap price.
The entrance fee on Friday and Saturday nights is usually around the sum of 5 or 6 pounds.
There is currently a battle between local residents and the Essex County Council to stop proposed policy changes to prevent over 19s playing at or visiting the Square, and remove the bar. The deadline for these policy changes is currently April 8th, although there has been much controversy over these moves and it is yet to be seen how many of these changes will be put in place and whether the current April 8th deadline will stand.
