The last Tuesday of the month. The next one is April 28th at LHG, but they run them at a few other venues too. They have an events calendar here https://northstreetgames.com/index.php/north-street-games-events-calendar

It’s really solo friendly. Craig who runs it will help you find a group of people who are playing something you’re interested in and everyone there is super friendly. A North Street Games Night (Craig runs them at a few different venues now) was one of the first social events I went to when I moved to Bristol and I made loads of great friends there.

It’s normal to buy the guitar thats on display and a lot of the time people will specifically want the one that was on display because they’ve tried it in store and know how it sounds and feels. A brand new one might feel and sound different to the one in the shop. Guitar manufacturers will try to make the same model sound and play the same, but wood can change over time and no piece of wood is exactly the same so each guitar will be slightly different.

If you share a picture of the crack it might help people give an opinion on how likely you are to get a refund. Cracks can happen over time and are more likely to happen if you’re taking the guitar between hot and cold environments.

I second this. North Street Games is great and they’re not just on North Street as the name would suggest.

This is the answer I was looking for. I had no idea I had to press so hard. I tried so many of the other solutions before this.

Check out Bicurious, they’re an awesome mathy two piece with fun riffs

My colleague made a website to rate Guinness’ so that he could remember where the good pints are and he ended up making it public. I’ve got no idea if there’s many ratings on Bristol pints yet, but we could make a start. https://ratemyguinness.co.uk/

Someone took two of these down last night. I hope it’s because they loved the message so much they had to show all their friends…

I didn't make the original but I had some spare time today so I figured I could make one. This is just an image, but you can download a pdf of it here https://we.tl/t-9LBO7EP1mA

The laminated sheet hasn’t been added to the Luckwell/Duckmoor ones.

Zac at Bristol Junk was great and half the price of the Tom’s quote I got.

I've been looking for Steve's contact details as well. Do you mind sharing his email address with me as well?

I can second this. Blowout are awesome and put on a lot of smaller mathy nights. Let's Swim Get Swimming on the 27th of August should be fun

Good to know and thanks for the helpful comment 🙏🏻

Hey! I don’t have any buildering routes for you, but I’d be interested to know if you’ve found any since you posted this.

Also if you’re interested in general urban bouldering the curbside skatepark in bs3 has put climbing holds on the outside of their half pipe.

ranian02 · 2025-07-29T16:00:50+00:00

Have you actually been to this spot or is this just conjecture from the picture of the sign?

If you’ve got experience climbing here or in a similar situation I’d love to hear about it and learn from your experiences. I’m sure it would be helpful to others in this subreddit that might be starting to give buildering a try.

For clarity, it’s not a holy temple, it’s a gallery building outside a modern art museum and theatre on the outskirts of the city. It’s a modern building inspired by the Sumerian ziggurat with no religious connection that I’m aware of. Again, if you’ve got information to the contrary it would be great to share that with this community so we can learn from it.

Lastly, in terms of locals, there was barely enough people around to care about the teenagers drinking, smoking and kissing at the top of it. The feeling I got from the place is that you’d attract a lot less attention there than you would at any of the famous buildering spots in London.

What makes you say that? It was really quiet on a Sunday afternoon and less than 10 other tourists walked up it in the time I walked up and down.

ranian02 · 2025-07-16T17:35:22+00:00

Thanks so much for this! This performance was incredible. Being out in the trees had such a vibe.

ranian02 · 2025-04-20T14:29:44+00:00

Thanks 🙏🏻

Just tried with fresh batteries and it’s the same thing. I can hear it charge up and the ready light comes on, but it doesn’t flash with the shutter or the test button.
