Area code is a shared listening environment for music creators and friends in Bristol. Its focus is on non-dance electronic music – electronica, downbeat, low-tempo, IDM, ambient, minimal and experimental music – but overall all music is welcome. Our aim is to support and unify our creative community and give us all a space to share what we’re doing.

All music is welcome as long as it’s suitable for a Wednesday evening at the Grain Barge. Come and play your own tracks, or just come and chill and enjoy the music. This is a fortnightly event so if you don’t have the chance to share music this time, we’ll make sure you do in future sessions.

There is no entry fee for this event, but we do ask that you buy a drink in order for us to continue being able to host the event. Tables are between 4-6 seats, so please ensure to remain seated with your household/social bubble. Decks will be sanitised between each use, and we are following all government guidance on music performance during covid.

Email events@grainbarge.com to book a table in advance, as tables will be first-come first-served on the day.
