Bristol Open Day May 16, 2026

Bristol Campus Open Day

Saturday 16th May 2026 | 11:00-16:00

Our Open Days are your opportunity to explore our campus, get your hands on professional equipment, ask the tutors the questions that matter, hear what current students have to say and explore the city you could be calling home.

What to Expect

What your day looks like

This is your chance to get a proper feel for dBs: the studios, the people, and what studying here is really like. Think of it as a backstage pass to what actually happens here, and a chance to figure out whether dBs is the right fit.

Day breakdown:

Campus tour: See the spaces where our students create, produce, and perform every day.
‍
Experience the campus in action: Get hands-on in our recording studios, watch mixing demos, catch live performances and vocal sessions, try out our Dolby Atmos and Spatial Audio setups, jam with hardware synths, explore foley and sound design demos, and get stuck in with the equipment wherever you can.
‍
Course deep-dives: Sit in on subject-specific talks covering Music Production, Performance, Vocal Artist, Songwriting, Live Sound, Events Management, Music for Film & Game, and Sound Design. Your tutors will walk you through what you'll actually be learning, the facilities you'll be using, and where it could take you.
‍
Meet your tutors: Chat with the people who’ll be teaching you. They’re working professionals, not just lecturers.
‍
Talk to current students: The best people to tell you what it’s really like? The ones doing it right now.
‍
Application support: Got questions about applying, fees & funding, accommodation, or your next steps? We’ll walk you through it.

Frequently Asked Questions

‍

Do I need to bring anything?

No. Just yourself and any questions you might have.

I haven't decided which course I'm interested in yet. Is this event still for me?

Absolutely. You'll have the opportunity to explore all of our courses and the team can help you work out which direction makes most sense for where you want to go.

Do I need to have already applied for a course?

Nope. You don’t need to have applied to come to an Open Day. Plenty of people come along to figure out whether dBs is right for them first. If you decide you want to apply on the day, we can help with that too.

Can I bring someone with me?

Yes, you're welcome to bring a guest. We just ask that anyone who is interested in a course registers seperately.

Is there parking nearby?

On-site parking isn't available. The nearest car parks are Portwall Lane Car Park or The Galleries Shopping Centre, both a short walk from the campus. There is also limited on street parking (pay and display).
‍

How do I get here by train?

Bristol Temple Meads is the closest station, around 10-15 minutes on foot. The campus is also well served by bus routes into the city centre.
