The Tunnels opened its doors in late 2009 offering an independent venue for live music events. Handily located just next to the Temple  Mead’s train station it plays host to some legendary artists as well as promoting new acts. It also puts on a lot of tribute acts. As the name suggests the main hall is a long tunnel shaped room with a capacity of just over 350 people. The listings are extensive and it normally showcases around 2-3 gigs a week so have a look through, see what takes your fancy.
