The Bristol event venue where history meets circus magic...

A Grade 1 listed building in a conservation area, St Pauls Church is a unique Bristol venue suitable for Christmas parties, Weddings, corporate workshops, conferences, award ceremonies and circus shows.

Built-in the 1790s, the church was restored through an awarding winning collaboration between The Churches Conservation Trust and Circomedia.

Traditional features are in abundance- floor to ceiling stained glass, soaring pillars and ornate tiling add to the grandeur of the space.

Partnered with a theatre quality lighting and sound rig and database of circus performers they offer one of the most unique and quirky event Spaces in central Bristol.

The professional events and front-of-house team are on hand from day one to ensure your event is one to remember.

They offer exclusive hire only on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and 7 days a week during Summer months.

    Amazing circus school and event space! The oldest professional circus school in the UK and even better than that... it's based in Bristol.

    So much fun, circus crew teach you how to jaggle, how to do callisthenics using the swings, and you perform different moves with success after watching professional crew.. The hall is very spacy and cool, food was nice.. Live show was also nice..

    We came in as a external PA company for a private party at the weekend. Howie and the team could not have been more helpful. Fantastic venue!

    My daughters aged 10 and 12 have just finished a week of summer camp and absolutely loved it! Thank you so much to all of the staff for teaching them so many new things and with great enthusiasm. They got to try everything out including flying trapeze and many aerial silks (and so much more!)

    These guys run a brilliant programme of widely varying events and the circus school youth training is amazing. Drop in to see what's going on, enrol your kids!
