Great place to go for lessons for your kids, the teachers are really friendly and encouraging. The venue is fully equipped with any of the kit you may need to borrow plus coffee, snacks, soft drinks, free parking and toilets. Only let down is that my daughter attends the after school session at 4pm, but the shutter door is not always open for us to access the toilets. It seems the staff member on shift has a lesson at 3.30 but it regularly overruns so it's a rush to get her to the toilet and into the room to start. Minor observation, but something I think can be improved on.

The rooms were spacious and clean with a good sounding drum kit and PA system. Best experience in Bristol! The customer service was excellent and the prices were reasonable. I definitely recommend it!

Everything a rehearsal space should be - clean rooms, clean toilets, equipment that actually works, good parking and access, great coffee, easy to book and friendly staff. By far our favourite rehearsal space in Bristol.

I've used Firebird a bunch of times for band rehearsals. The staff are friendly and helpful, the rooms are good size and good value, equipment hire is flexible, and it's very convenient for South Bristol. Parking is good too, right in front of the main entrance, which isn't always the case at rehearsal studios.

Came for a rehearsal just before Christmas, the proprietor was super friendly and helpful, and allowed me to change the booking last minute! They had all the equipment I needed and the room was clean and comfy. A great place to make music!

I’ve been using Firebird on and off for about eight years… just jammin’ with friends. Always friendly, decent rooms, and gear should it be needed. Also coffee and cake is available! Easy access, no stairs and good parking. Recommended.

Staff are really friendly, helpful and super flexible when you have to change or arrange dates. They give really prompt replies to queries as well. Rooms are comfortable and include vocal PAs - and the place isn't freezing in the winter. Parking is easy too.

Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff, and a decent cafe to boot. The studios are well equipped and comfy. I'm looking forward to my next visit!

Firebird is a fantastic studio space that has very quickly become a solid home base for the band! The flexibility of the booking system is a god send, allowing you to hire as much (or as little) gear as you need rather than adopting a one-size-fits-all style approach that seems to be the industry norm around Bristol. Additionally, there's always plenty of off road parking, Charlie is rapid to respond to queries/booking requests & the place is just generally really well run. Can't fault it!
