The finishing touches are being applied to the newly-named Bristol Beacon venue, opening on November 30 - and we got a chance to go on a tour inside.
From the flooring being laid in the main Beacon Hall to the restoration in the Lantern Hall, the wraps are slowly coming off the £132m venue which will host moe than 200 gigs and concerts every year.
Operated by Bristol Music Trust, it will also provide the opportunity for young people through basement studios and a creative learning programme.
And so with just months to go with opening, we took a look inside:
