About the venue

Live music

Bristol Beacon is a concert hall and Grade II listed building in Bristol, England, owned by Bristol City Council and managed by Bristol Music Trust. It is the city's largest concert hall, presenting a diverse program of concerts and entertainment, including major names in rock, pop, jazz, folk, world, and classical music, stand-up comedy, and light entertainment. The venue also hosts local choirs, orchestras, and schools. Audiences have been enjoying music here since 1867, and it remains at the heart of Bristol's cultural life. The hall has been redeveloped several times and underwent a major refurbishment, reopening on November 30, 2023, transforming it into a modern, accessible, state-of-the-art facility and one of the best performance and music learning spaces in Europe. The refurbishment included a new flexible and adaptable interior within the 1867 original masonry walls, new music education studios, a club-style third venue in the cellars, and a new restaurant within the historic colonnade. The venue also aims to be the UK's first net-zero concert hall by 2030.
