Summer Lates Series
June 15 2023 - 17 August 2023
From £13
Our 2023 Summer Lates series has now finished. Keep an eye out for information about our 2024 series.
Thursdays are set to be the biggest night of the week this summer as our Lates Series returns for 2023 with eight dockyard gigs scheduled from 15 June.
Following last year’s success, we’re hosting twice the number of events with even more exciting music to discover at Bristol’s most unique gig location. Watch our dockyard come to life with live bands, a summer BBQ (including a vegan option), local beers and our special signature cocktail, the Steamship.
We’re delighted to be partnering with Coffee Club Bristol, who have been putting on some of the city’s best alternative gigs since 2013, to provide the best line up yet.
You’ll also have the unique opportunity to explore the ship, Dry Dock and dock yard after hours, without the crowds.

Dates: 15 June, 22 June, 29 June, 6 July, 13 July, 20 July, 3 August, 17 August
Times: 6-9pm
Please note that tickets must be booked online ahead of each event.

2023 Partners
Coffee Club
This year we’re delighted to be partnering with Coffee Club, who have been putting on some of Bristol’s best alternative gigs since 2013 and serving the coffee on the Bristol Marina since 2020.
Formerly known as ‘Imagine That’, Lucy and Dan created Coffee Club to bring people together, be it for a coffee in the sunshine or at a local gig night. Great songs have been written over coffee, great ideas have been inspired by live music.
Bristol Beer Factory
Bristol Beer Factory has been creating waves in the UK craft brewing scene since 2004, pioneering independent beer in Bristol and beyond. A passion for cask forged their place on the UK brewing map.
Always pushing forwards, they are constantly evolving; from the modern hop dreamlands of Laser Juice to the best-selling and critically acclaimed Clear Head, an epic alcohol-free IPA.
“WE BREW TO UNITE PEOPLE AND COMMUNITIES OVER WORLD-CLASS BEER. Inspiring people to demand and drink progressive, independent beer and to make you feel proud of your city and community.”
