Spectacular doesn’t even begin to cover it. An unforgettable night celebrating a new beginning for the transformed Bristol Beacon.

The biggest honour to be asked to bring the hall to life for the first time ✨✨What a special night it was reopening the mighty Bristol Beacon. TTLF was over a year in the making for everyone involved so utterly delighted it was finally enjoyed by audiences last night.

A moment we will never forget! Thank you Bristol - this is for you! ❤️

We’re so grateful to finally open the doors and let the light shine.
