Sunset Sessions
Sunset Sessions Bristol | West Country Water Park
Our Bristol lake sunset sessions evenings bring together optional open water swimming, paddleboarding, live DJ sets, cocktails, and lakeside vibes at West Country Water Park in North Bristol.
Music, Swimming, Sunset
Sunset Sessions are a unique Friday night experience set on our open-water lake near Bradley Stoke. Whether you want to swim or paddleboard at golden hour, you can then dry off for live DJ sets, cocktails, and lakeside vibes at the Tiki Bar. Three rotating themes – Tropical Frequencies, Ibiza Classics, and Reggae Roots – each curated to match a long summer evening beside the water. Furthermore, sessions are open to all adults aged 18+. After your swim, you might also enjoy our lakeside sauna – the perfect way to warm up.
