What's On in Bristol
Wednesday 05 August 2026 · This weekend · City guide
Wednesday in Bristol proves that the middle of the week has absolutely no reason to be dull. From a creative afternoon for young minds to a thunderous evening of hard rock, the city is serving up something genuinely special at every hour — all you have to do is show up.
Highlights
Kids Eco Resin Workshop at Rubino Lounge — Tucked inside the characterful Rubino Lounge, this hands-on afternoon workshop invites young creators to work with eco-friendly resin and make something they will actually want to keep forever. Starting at 1:00pm, it is the kind of midweek treat that turns an ordinary Wednesday into a proper memory — ideal for curious kids and the grown-ups who love watching them surprise themselves. Tickets run from £12 to £48 depending on group size, making it a brilliant option for families or friends looking to do something genuinely different.
Life Of Agony — The legendary New York metal outfit Life Of Agony bring their raw, cathartic sound to the wonderfully unique Thekla — Bristol's floating music venue moored on the River Avon — for what promises to be an unforgettable night of heavy, emotionally charged rock. Doors open at 6:30pm, and if you know even a handful of their songs, you already know this room is going to be electric. Check the website for ticket prices and availability, but do not leave it too long — shows like this on a boat do not stay quiet for long.
