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.

Renegade all singing, all dancing side-mic’ed diva Lucy McCormick injects the New Testament with some much-needed queer 00s pop sensibility in the most blasphemous thing the Mount Without has (hopefully) ever seen.

Lucy McCormick returns with her queer cult hit Triple Threat via a holy trinity of dance, power ballads and performance art.

Following her majestic Volksbühne show with Bendike Giske and a Berghain outing for Creamcake’s 3hd last year, Sarahsson’s monumental homecoming show is not to be missed.

Huge FFO: Eartheater, Lyra Pramuk, Evita Manji, LEYA.
BNM 2024 opens with a very special show by Sarahsson at the spectacular Mount Without church
