We host regular events for anyone who wants to enjoy live performances without the effects of alcohol or drugs.
We believe in the connecting power of sober events. By choosing to attend our events, you’ll be part of an emerging, exciting scene and meet new people in a safe environment.
Our mission is simple - to host regular, high quality and affordable live events that are drug and alcohol free. BSS is a collaboration between BDP, Not Saints, and the broader Bristol recovery and sober communities. We are supported by the National Lottery, Not Saints, BDP and Bristol City Council.
Our events are for anyone who wants go to a sober event, for whatever reason. Whether you've chosen a sober life, are in recovery, don’t drink for cultural, religious or health reasons, or if you're just not fussed if there’s alcohol on sale, then Sober Spaces is here for you.
We are part of a growing world wide movement towards normalising drug and alcohol free events. Since 2020, there has been a huge rise in the low to no alcohol drinks market, coinciding with more awareness of the need for safe and inclusive spaces, and the rise of the sober curious movement.
Our events are great nights out in themselves, with the added benefits of not having a hangover, saving money, engaging with music and performance with a straight head, and feeling connected to a supportive community.
If you're interested in getting involved with our community, you can attend our events, sign up for our newsletter, perform at an event, or get involved behind the scenes.
