This March we look forward to welcoming you to one of Bristol’s most dramatic venues – the stunning Mount Without! Formerly a church dating from the 15th Century, this recently restored creative space on St. Michael’s Hill boasts a rich history. Enjoy a drink in the Crypt, before watching films in the Grade-II listed nave beneath a stunning stained-glass window.
About The Film
1996 | U | 91 mins
Quasimodo, an outcast from society, lives as the bell-ringer in Notre Dame Cathedral, and longs for acceptance. When he encounters Esmerelda, who is being persecuted due to her status as a Gypsy, he becomes determined to fight against the injustices in Parisian society.
About The Location
There has been a church on this site for over 900 years, with the original structure dating back to the Norman era; the unusual name comes from an era when it was outside the city’s walls. After major renovation works in the late 18th Century, and again after damage from the Bristol Blitz, the church finally closed its doors and was deconsecrated in 1999. The building was the victim of an arson attack in 2016, but after years of restoration work it has now reopened as one of Bristol’s most unique and characterful new event spaces.
