Big things a’happenin - any venue knows the importance of a comfortable seat.

These ones do fancy things, but are also super comfy. Posteriors of Bristol - prepare to be delighted!

[Bristol Beacon @Bristol_Beacon]

The seats are in! 🪑 Lantern Hall's new tiered seating can be moved electronically to add standing room and allow quick changeovers between events.

Great time at the seaside in Brighton for @thegreatescape last week.

The sun even shone for a bit! ☀️ 🍦

We’re having a blast at Inside Out! 💥

Our free open music day has been packed full of performances, crafting, instrument demos, gig-poster-making, showcases from our young musicians and flat-out fun.

This is why we love what we do! 🎵

Thanks for joining us everyone 🙏

A final thought: however difficult the last few days have been, it simply doesn’t compare to having to flee your home from persecution or war to seek refuge in a land far away. It’s heartwarming to have seen the empathy towards their plight from so many of you. 3/4

@Tom_Newman86 Oh gosh, nu-nu-rave is coming!

[Andy Boreham @andyb_briz]

So intrigued to see Meet Me In The Bathroom. As the 90s nostalgia train heads on down the track & the noughties service pulls in, gunna be weird seeing my own formative musical decade reflected back. I don’t abide all the navel gazing, but 12:51 is still sublime
