We’re celebrating the opening of Bristol Beacon with a day-to-night festival bursting with a colourful spectrum of Bristol creativity and you’re invited to help us warm the place up.
At The Housewarming, every corner of Bristol Beacon – from the Terrace to our brand-new Cellars and our renewed transformed concert hall spaces – will come alive with performances, to celebrate its rebirth with light, sound and of course, music.
Throughout the celebration we’ll be showcasing the breadth of Bristol’s creative community. We’re setting the stage, but then it’s over to you!
Like all good housewarming parties, everyone is welcome: friends and neighbours, old and new. The doors are open, so come along – dig out your sequins, grab your dancing shoes and help us throw one massive Bristol party to remember.
