By Martin Booth  Friday Nov 3, 2023

The full lineup has now been released for the Bristol Beacon’s reopening party taking place from 11am to 2am on Saturday, December 2.

The Housewarming – a free-to-attend celebration – will feature an all-Bristol lineup of well-known names, festival favourites, emerging talents, and members of the Beacon’s schools and community programmes.

Put together in collaboration with a community advisory group, the Housewarming will take over all four of the venue’s spaces: Beacon Hall, Lantern Hall, the Cellars and Bridgehouse – the new name for the foyer.
