It is neither red nor brown but this place definitely has "The Sauce". Thankfully, it does not have "The Vinegar".

Great Cody venue

two flights of stairs but once up it's a very comfortable relaxing atmosphere and friendly

It really is a fantastic little place for performers and audiences. I don't know of anywhere else you can catch a spoken word night, an electronic music set at an open mic and then a sludge metal band, all within a few days of each other. The platform it gives to musicians that are just starting out or that would otherwise struggle to get in front of audience is brilliant too. The staff are all wonderful too! Give them a follow on socials and keep an eye on the upcoming events, there really is something for everyone.

A quirky little music/arts venue tucked away in an old mill building in a suburb of Carlisle. Features a wide variety of music genres and always entertaining. Have a drink or coffee at the bar. Friendly staff and a relaxed sociable atmosphere. Appeals to a wide age range. Dancing. Open mic nights. Established and new bands/singers. Great place...well worth a visit

Great little local venue. Great music.

The Source Collective in Carlisle is a rare gem. One of the increasingly dwindling grassroots venues which underpins the entire music industry in the UK. Run and attended by lovely folk, with a really cool, thoughtful space, who treat their bands well. We need more like this.

Not bad spot, great fans but poorly supported sadly being so far out of town ?

Chris Reed

It is what the name says. It is a source of solace, a music venue like it should be, live and loud and loaded with playful people. It is a collective, it collects the energy of the playful people and amplifies it. Safe and sound for people of all ages, origins, shapes, sizes and sexualities. You will come out in better shape than when you went in.

I live next door to this venue. Never been inside but I can hear all the music free of charge whenever the fire door is open. Unfortunately it's not my kind of music, being as I am 60+, but if they throw in some free beers too I'll not complain! ??

£3.70 for can of booze. Far too dear
