Bush Hall

Not only is this grassroots music venue an absolute stunner inside – it’s got gorgeous chandeliers and ornate cornicing – but it’s the perfect size for a gig: not so big that you feel alienated from the stage but not so small you turn into a claustrophobic, sweaty mess. Originally built as a dance hall in 1904, Bush Hall has been putting on independent gigs, which now also extend to club nights and podcast shows, of all genres since it was returned to its musical glory in 2001.
