Venue Description

Bristol Beacon is a music charity, renowned venue and award-winning music education hub. With a city-wide programme of live music, creative learning opportunities and community engagement, we’re here to help make space for music every day, with everyone. With you! A place of welcome, warmth and light, we extend an open invitation to the city for everyone to come and share in the joy of live music and celebrate this in everything we do. In November 2023 we completed a once-in-a-generation transformation of our venue to provide the city and the South West with one of the best performance and music learning spaces in Europe.
