About this venue
Thekla is a converted German cargo ship moored in Bristol's harbour, operating as a live music venue and nightclub since 1984. Now run by national promoter DHP Family, it has hosted artists including Pulp, Stormzy, Phoebe Bridgers, and Catfish and the Bottlemen. The venue spans two levels, with weekly club nights running Thursdays and Saturdays alongside touring live shows.
