This is where it all started!

Our original ACE hub at Docklands Community Centre has been a space for young people to create, connect and grow for years — and it continues to be at the heart of what we do.

Through More Than Music, creativity is the gateway. Young people can explore music and new skills, build confidence, form positive relationships and connect with mentors who offer guidance that goes far beyond the studio.

Whether you come to make music, meet new people, try something different or simply need a positive space to be — there’s a place for you here.

Docklands Community Centre, BS2 8AU

Tuesdays | 5:30–7:30pm | Ages 8–11
Wednesdays | 6–8pm | Ages 12–16
Thursdays | 7–9pm | Ages 17–21

🎧 Free to attend.

More Than Music. More than a session. A space to belong.

This is more than music.

It's a space to create, connect and grow. For some, it starts with a beat...but it becomes so much more.

Being recognised at the Bristol Legends Awards meant a lot to us.

The room was full of people doing incredible work across Bristol and it was an honour to be part of that space.

We also brought one of our young people along so they could experience the night first-hand — seeing positive role models and the power of community leadership.

Experiences like that stay with young people.

Congratulations to all the nominees and winners. Bristol is full of legends
Thanks you @bristol247 for the experience
