The Thekla is a permanently moored boat on Bristol’s harbourside, operating as a live music venue, bar, and cinema. Originally built in 1983 as a cargo ship named ‘The John Cabot’, it was converted into a theatre/performance space in 1984 and subsequently moved to its current location in 1994. The venue is renowned for its intimate setting and has hosted numerous established and emerging artists across various genres since its inception. Its distinctive history as a boat contributes to its unique atmosphere; the stage area is located within the former hold of the vessel. The Thekla frequently features both local Bristol acts and touring bands, playing a significant role in the city’s vibrant music landscape. It's known for its relatively small capacity, fostering close connections between performers and audiences.
