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.

Sell out warning! Tumblr girlies to the front: the otherworldly Mount Without and Bristol’s new bubblegrunge sweetheart Ziggy 2000 bring midwinter respite with a warm + nostalgic mix of bedroom emo, indie pop and y2k aesthetics. Big one to watch FFO: Clairo, Beach Bunny, Soccer Mommy, Cherry Glazerr, Adult Mom.
Introducing: Ziggy 2000, Bristol’s very own candy princess. Fresh on the scene, Ziggy nods to the grit and gaudiness of 2000s indie sleaze, whilst using her hushed fairy tones and whimsical style to make a new world that is entirely her own.
Sell out warning! Fingerpicking guitar, flute and the pure, raw, soul of the unstoppable voice behind Honeyfeet and Band of Burns. Ríoghnach Connolly is simply the best folk singer in the British Isles. Seeing her in the celestial Mount Without? Simply unmissable.
Ríoghnach currently holds the title of BBC Radio 2’s Folk Singer of the Year
