Free live music all weekend, every weekend.

The Thornbury Local doesn’t mess around when it comes to entertainment. The High Street bar is a neighbourhood institution. It’s a place where up-and-comers can earn their stripes and where seasoned vets can come to jam out and blow off some steam.

On the stage, see everything from indie pop to good old-fashioned rock n’ roll. Running Friday, Saturday and Sunday every week, their live music series gives fans the chance to see their favourites in the flesh or discover something new and exciting in the local scene.
