About this space

The Loco Klub is a joint venture with the Invisible Circus; at our core we aim to be a collaborative, cultural hub for a creative city, celebrating community, diversity and the power of the arts.

Hidden in the former Ash Pits of Brunel’s original station at Bristol Temple Meads and making use of the historic Railway workers social club, the venue’s tunnels and victorian style lend themselves to an atmospheric location for a variety of happenings. From immersive theatre and industry talks, to operas, orchestras and cabarets, to film shoots and music videos, club nights and gala dinners… we are here to continue writing the story of our creative cultural identity through art in all its forms.

Show cancellation details

The Loco Klub is a new and exciting underground Arts venue opening in the Bristol enterprise zone beneath the passenger shed in Temple Meads. The project is a creative collaboration between The Invisible Circus and Artspace Lifespace who as sister companies brought you such groundbreaking projects as The Island and Pro-cathedral.

The venue is rising from the ashes of the old railway social club that formerly stood on the site and as well as boasting a series of fabulous performance spaces in the former social club bar rooms also holds a hidden treasure, a series of Brunel built railway arches hidden behind the flock wallpaper and wooden panels of the social club, the former ash pits of the original station above these underground caverns are a unique and jaw-dropping performance space unlike anything else in the city.
