This Weekend's Trending Clubnights

We started Headfirst in 2008 and since then we have seen Bristol's weekend nightlife programme week upon week. Currently Bristol's clubnights are some of the most diverse and innovative in the UK, ranging from small venues like Cosies and The Island to larger clubs like Motion and Blue Mountain. The best of this weekend's club events are below.

“Please arrive by 13.50 to be introduced to the space rules. If you are going to be late there is a doorbell, but once the class has started you will have to wait until there is some free time to be let in. The venue is in an industrial estate with plenty of free parking on the weekend. Wear comfortable clothes you can tie on and in.”
From: BOUND IN BRISTOL

We invite you to join us at Three Hares Folk Camp for a long weekend retreat of folk music tuition, 24-27th July 2025. Come and immerse yourself in the joy of folk music, level up your playing, and connect with fellow musicians.


From: Three Hares Folk Camp

“Inglefest is a grassroots, independent music festival that brings together the vibrant and diverse spirit of the South West's original music scene for three days of live music and celebration. With three clash-free stages and an eclectic lineup, there’s something for everyone to enjoy - from reggae and funk to rock, rap and folk and everything in between, as well as workshops and activities across the weekend.”
From: 15th - 17th August
