We’re returning to the stunning Mount Without this autumn for a night of unforgettable horror! 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 Halloween season continues with a milestone anniversary screening of one of the few horror movies to receive a Best Picture Oscar nomination, The Sixth Sense. M. Night Shyamalan’s breakthrough film remains an arresting watch, 25 years on from its release - it’s got chills, thrills and twists that make it an instant pop culture classic!

About The Film

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.
