What's On

The Wave Surf-board Expo Event

Sunday 23 August, The Wave turns into a one-day surf market. Try out the newest boards from LibTech and Torq on your surf session for free, browse hand-shaped boards from UK makers Hand Laid Eggs, Ellie Miller and Colab Surf, or dig through the Vintage Board Expo for something with a bit more history. Round it all off with live music, Milo’s Pizza and, if you fancy staying over, camping.

We’ll also have stalls for Dawn Patrol coffee, Own the Adventure swimwear, Wavelength and Longboarder magazine and many others.

You can bring your own board to buy, sell or swap.

Summer sets – live music line up

Every Sunday throughout July and August, we’re bringing live music to The Wave — local Bristol artists playing from 1pm while you dry off, grab a drink, and soak up the sun.

Expect indie bands, acoustic sets, chilled house, R&B throwbacks, and everything in between.

Free to enjoy for all guests on the day.
