★★★★★Featured review by Ken Schardt

Absolutely terrific DIY venue & arts space in Bristol. Glad I was able to attend a show while visiting this wonderful city. Definitely go, no matter what is going on & be prepared to open your mind while supporting the arts. Well done to the staff and performers- you have a wonderful space.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with older children and teenagers who want something beyond mainstream multiplex fare. The volunteer-run structure creates a genuinely different social atmosphere — regular attendees know each other and newcomers are folded in quickly.
