Circomedia

Home of our regular public ceilidhs. This converted church has fabulous lighting, high ceilings, and a team that really knows how to make events run smoothly. The ambience is second to none.

Next public ceilidh: 19th September 2025 – tickets available here

The Folk House

A community hub right in the centre of town. With a cosy wooden floor and bags of character, it’s a favourite for Bristol folk and acoustic events. We play here regularly as part of the Bristol Ceilidh series, which features a rotating line-up of the best bands in the region.

Beeses

A hidden riverside gem. Couples often arrive by boat for a magical reception before the dancing begins. The food is always spot-on and there’s loads of space for dancing under the fairy lights.

Trinity Centre

A deconsecrated church turned arts venue. With a great sound system, stage, and bar, it’s perfect for a big ceilidh party. There’s also outdoor space for mingling in the sunshine.
