Bristol Beacon has confirmed its plans for its opening weekend after a monumental refurbishment totalling around £132 million. The famous concert hall has been closed to the public since 2018 despite being initially predicted to reopen in 2020.
In April, Arts Council England said anything that compromises the trust’s ability to deliver its charitable objectives gave them "cause for concern” after it awarded funding of around £20 million. Bristol City Council said it was exploring its future with Bristol Beacon ahead of the reopening.
The renovations will see the Victorian concert hall transform into a 'world-class' space that promises to be one of the most accessible venues in Europe. It will have three performance spaces as well as a brand-new restaurant available to the public.
