Bold proposals for a new fund aimed at supporting Bristol’s iconic music scene have been launched. Bristol Music Fund is not just a music fund – it is a new economic model rooted in community power. Over the past 18 months, Bristol Nights has been in conversation with the music industry to imagine a better future for Bristol’s internationally renowned music scene and to collaborate on creating a self-sustaining funding model to invest in music in the city. After months of talking, listening, and collaborating with the sector, Bristol Nights is proud to share 'A Ticket To The Future', a feasibility study co-designed with strategy development specialists PRD, and venues, promoters, artists and the music community. A huge thank you to special guest Tom Kiehl, CEO of UK Music for joining us at the launch event last night, and to the music industry who turned out to support. We are thrilled to launch this paper and invite you to join us in our Ticket to The Future.... https://lnkd.in/eqgDgkCu

Upskilling your night life team Bristol’s night time economy is about more than the pubs, clubs, venues and restaurants – it’s about the 116,000 people that work from 6pm to 6am and support the city. Without them, the city that we know and love would be a very different place. To help create a vibrant nightlife across the city, support a diverse and inclusive offering, and prioritise safety alongside entertainment we’ve launched two training programmes to get you and your teams ready for the autumn and the return of university students back to the city: · Thrive at Night · Women’s Safety Charter You’re busy, your time is precious. We know that. That’s why the Bristol Nights training has been co-designed with the night time sector to make sure it’s as useful and relevant as possible to those attending, and is constantly evolving so there’s always something new to learn…. including the Worker Protection Bill, an amendment of Equality Act 2010, which comes into effect from October 2024.
