The Lantern
Excellent live music venue in Bristol Beacon.
Bristol Beacon's second events space is a 500 capacity, all-standing concert hall. The smaller capacity allows the venue to book more alternative and less established musicians than its larger counterpart. As a result The Lantern's programming is carefully thought-out and extremely varied. Events are booked for almost every night of the week, and tickets for shows are typically £10-20.
