The Mount Without

Stunning converted church venue on St Michael's Hill.

Is The Mount Without Bristol's most beautiful venue? A recently converted church that's been the site of worship for over 900 years, whoever's in charge has left a lot of the drag majesty of the old structure in tact. And so, with a keen eye for visual art and interior design, the Mount Without was born. Principally a wedding / private hire venue, it adds a touch of the sublime to all performances and gigs hosted there.

Our recent recommendations for The Mount Without

Sell out warning! Riot Act have really outdone themselves here, striking a big nugget of UK comedy gold with the ever-irreverent, ever-inebriated icon Dylan Moran. Mr Bernard Black’ll have you crawling out The Mount Without in stitches, plus there’s more surreal hijinx from boardroom vaudeville mime Enrico Touché and 'Poet Laureate of the Afters' herself Eliza Fiver. RIOT ACT- Bristol's madcap cabaret clubnight- presents the very best in comedy, cabaret, punk poetry and Bristol sounds powered by the people, for the people.

Sell out warning! Real deal Irish folk exactly as you’d want it: full of charm, honesty, intricate trad musicianship and tales of the Emerald Isles. Bristol can't get enough of Daoirí – he's truly an artist that demands your repeated attendance. ‘He has the best Irish traditional voice currently around; if there’s better, I’ve yet to hear it.’ - Folk Radio UK/KLOF

Don your most decadent Sunday best and follow the white rabbit to the otherworldly Mount Without. MadStillNess’ immersive soiree summons Invisible Circus performers, a high-camp catwalk with Soft Butch’s Lexx, light installations, live music, surreal ceremonial happenings and more. Plus it’s tee-total and all over by 9pm – more Monday morning-friendly cabaret pls! Immersive theatre, art installation, and creative nightlife reimagined through a queer and neurodivergent-friendly lens.

Live deconstructed dub, baile funk on the decks, b-boy animation screening and, of course, eye-popping contemporary dance (with guitars!) – Impermanence are pulling all the Friday night stops out for the closing of This Body fest: an exploration of hip-hop subculture and urban movement in the stunning gothic surrounds of The Mount Without. THREADS is an evening curated by Magnus & Izaak Brandt. Film, Music, Dance & Club Night combine to create an image of Bristol using the expanded lens of hip hop.

A standout new piece from British-Guyanese choreographer Owen Ridley-DeMonick, premiering as part of Impermanence’s fortnight-long dance-theatre festival, This Body. Caliban’s Dream uses The Tempest’s monstrified anti-hero as a springboard for a reclamation tale that examines dispossessed selfhood and the legacy of colonial violence. Transcendent. A world premiere from Owen Ridley-DeMonick
