The venue 'Nation' which is home to Cream is made up of 3 separate rooms, each of varying shape and size; the 1400 capacity Main room, 650 capacity Annexe and 850 capacity Courtyard. Since Cream ended their weekly club shows at Nation in 2002, Nation has continued to hold other events, such as the longest running and biggest student night in the UK Medication at Nation Chibuku, Film Premiere Aftershow parties, MTV and Yo-Yo to name a few.
Cream also hosts the dance music festival Creamfields each year in Daresbury, Cheshire, England on August Bank Holiday weekend. Creamfields has won the award for Best Dance Event in the UK Festival Awards for 4 consecutive years and in 2010 won the highly coveted Music Week award for 'Festival Of The Year' beating off the likes of heavyweight festivals such as Glastonbury, Reading and Leeds.
Cream continues to release compilations throughout the year and to date has sold over 5 million units.

Famous quotes containing the word today:
“The greatest block today in the way of woman’s emancipation is the church, the canon law, the Bible and the priesthood.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
“My advice to people today is as follows: If you take the game of life seriously, if you take your nervous system seriously, if you take your sense organs seriously, if you take the energy process seriously, you must turn on, tune in, and drop out.”
—Timothy Leary (b. 1920)
“The East is the hearthside of America. Like any home, therefore, it has the defects of its virtues. Because it is a long-lived-in house, it bursts its seams, is inconvenient, needs constant refurbishing. And some of the family resources have been spent. To attain the privacy that grown-up people find so desirable, Easterners live a harder life than people elsewhere. Today it is we and not the frontiersman who must be rugged to survive.”
—Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)
