- The Fleece
The Fleece is a smaller music venue that holds a special place in most Bristolians hearts. The size of the venue doesn’t limit the size of the bands that play here and the atmosphere is always optimal.
The Fleece has seen the likes of Oasis, Muse, Radiohead and Queens Of The Stone Age playing upon it’s stage and houses regular performances with top bands.
- Thekla
Thekla is a bit of a special one because it is actually a boat. The venue is a large boat that is permanently anchored on the floating harbour.
The venue plays a variety of shows from a range of artists and genres. Some bands that have played here include: Frank Turner, Bat for Lashes, Kate Nash, Robyn, Florence & the Machine, Example and many more.

- Trinity Centre
This trinity centre is a former church turned music venue and arts centre. The centre supports many charities as well as hosting huge names from the music industry. It is a large standing venue and is recognised as the location where ‘The Bristol Sound’ was first created.
