The Tunnels is an independent Bristol live music and club, conveniently situated in the heart of Temple Meads, next to the main railway station. The 360 capacity venue opened its doors in October 2009 and has been lucky enough to some fantastic artists perform there over the years including SuperSonic and
Laurence Jones. Although it is a rather cosy venue, it is a unique one as is housed in two old former railway archers that have been transformed into the brilliant entertainment venue that appears today.
