A clubnight on Friday 20th June. The event starts at 17:00.


We’ve teamed up with Bristol legends Worm Disco Club to bring you Summer Sessions—a three-month run of free Friday parties in our sunny Old Market beer garden, powered by the Minirig Doppler Soundsystem.

Master musical curators, Jake Worm, Jackson Worm and Nathan Worm have invited a stellar line-up of artists to join them on the decks each Friday, for an entire summer of sonic exploration, spanning an odyssey of genres and styles.

This week Jackson Worm invites:
