Shows

Every year, we invite some of the most innovative and exciting circus, physical theatre, dance and performance companies from around the world to St Pauls Church in the heart of Bristol. We want to showcase work that reflects our own principles of the artist as creator who combines artforms and uses the body to convey meaning.

You can book tickets for all our performances online, or by calling the Box Office on 0117 924 7615. Please note that a fee is applied to telephone bookings. Our venue is fully accessible with a hearing induction loop, wheelchair ramp and complimentary ticket for carers. If you have specific accessibility needs please let us know in advance.
