Bristol Beacon

The city’s concert hall, rebuilt in 2023, with everything from orchestras to hip hop.

Reopened after a five-year rebuild, the Beacon has a main hall with new acoustics and a smaller room for jazz and folk. The programme is broad and the bar is open before shows. Indoors and central, so a straightforward rainy-night plan.

When it works

Indoors, so the weather does not matter. Best evening.

Good for a date, groups and step-free visits.
