“‘Muppet Treasure Island’ is an elaborate, juicy eyeful. The film is an impressive maze of visual scale and perspective that lets humans and puppets interact as a single species. Some scenes are filled to brimming with goofy Muppets and humans as ruffian seafaring types. The overall effect is a wonderful sense of the fantastical”

We’re back at the stunning Mount Without this March! 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.
Our second March 2023 date at the Mount Without focuses on swashbuckling adventure, starting with Muppet Treasure Island, the classic Robert Louis Stevenson pirate tale told Muppet-style! Joining the gang on the quest for untold riches is a human cast including Billy Connelly, Jennifer Saunders, and Tim Curry on top form as Long John Silver.
About The Film
1996 | U | 100 mins
Young orphan Jim Hawkins unexpectedly comes into possession of a map that is said to lead to a wealth of treasure. Pursued by pirates, Jim and his friends Gonzo and Rizzo embark on an adventure to retrieve the treasure before it falls into wrongdoers’ hands (or paws).
Contains mild comic violence and sex references
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.
