The Mount Without

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.
