As the cold sets in and the light hours lessen, you are invited to come warm up at Bristol Beacon.
For one Sunday a month during winter, we are inviting local community groups to share some of what they are doing in the space next to the café, and you’re warmly invited too.
Come and listen, join in, grab a cuppa or just rest for a moment.
Keep an eye on this page for further dates and performer line ups.

Cadbury Saxophone Band, Sunday 19 April
It’s getting on for 30 years ago that half a dozen pupils met with me in the basement of Clevedon music shop in an attempt to make beautiful music together. Word spread rapidly and Cadbury Saxophone Band now has over 30 musicians playing soprano, alto, tenor and baritone saxes. The band has an open access policy and caters for a wide range of musical ability. Anyone is welcome to come and join in the 20 or so rehearsals on Saturday mornings , held at various venues in the North Somerset area. Interested in joining our happy band?
