Join us for DEBUT’s new monthly concert series at Brunel Museum’s historic Grade II* listed Thames Tunnel Shaft.
The Brunels hosted the first underground concert party here in 1827 and we are continuing the tradition! Grab a drink from Midnight Apothecary (who grow their botanicals on the roof), take a seat around a candle lit table, and settle in for a fun and intimate night of music.
DEBUT at Brunel Museum offers awe-inspiring performances, time to chat to your favourite musicians and the chance to learn more about Brunel’s remarkable feat of engineering.

“Wow. Wow. Wow. Utterly spine tingling concert at Brunel Museum last night by DEBUT. The acoustic was just mind blowing - it’s like a cathedral of Engineering.
Would 10,000% recommend.”
