Thekla is a converted German cargo ship moored in Bristol's Floating Harbour, now serving as a live music venue and nightclub. Opened in 1984 by Ki Longfellow, Vivian Stanshall, and Peter Jackson, Thekla has hosted artists such as Pulp, Stormzy, Phoebe Bridgers, and Catfish & The Bottlemen. In 2014, it underwent a £500,000 refurbishment, which included a full dry-dock restoration.
