Looking for a ceilidh band in Bristol and wondering where to host the dancing? Here’s a list of some of our favourite venues in the city – places we’ve filled with music, movement, and a whole lot of smiling faces.
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.
Arnos Vale
Tucked away in a peaceful wooded cemetery, Arnos Vale is a surprisingly lovely spot for a wedding. A few different buildings to choose from – all of them great for dancing, especially as the evening sets in.
The Mount Without
One of Bristol’s most striking venues. The vaulted ceilings and giant wall sculpture give it a unique feel. We love the main hall for ceilidhs – and the crypt is perfect for a late-night disco once the dancing’s done.
