Bristol Beacon

City’s largest performance stage

A great venue, it has the accolade of now being the city’s largest performance venue. From more humble beginnings in 1867, it has had numerous refurbishments and expansions since then. Leading to today’s premier entertainment destination.

Searching water

Went as for most people for a concert. I wanted to drink water and I think that they want to be sustainable and reuse cups is great but the tap water was warm and there was no other option. At the interval people were queuing for water and it wasn’t being topped up. There were only two people serving the whole bar. Total chaos. If you are banning people bringing in water please make it accessible and preferably cold

Avoid the upper tier front row as the legroom is very restricted, which causes discomfort.

We chose front row upper tier for a music gig. Immediately regretted our choice. The access to our seats was dangerous. As normal everyone has to stand to let you pass BUT due to boxed in cables? the floor is reduced. Squeezing by was precarious. Once seated whilst the view and sound was great we couldn’t enjoy it due to being so contorted. It ruined the experience which was a real shame. We will only return for standing gigs. What a bad design and in an evacuation it could result in a serious accident.
