Alma Tavern Theatre first opened its doors in 1997 when the two function rooms above the pub were transformed into a small but perfectly formed theatre. And, of course, you can take your drink into the theatre. Well, it wouldn't be a proper pub theatre without that, would it?

Ashton Court is a magnificent estate covering 850 acres of woods and grassland with breathtaking views over the city of Bristol.

It is however, the stunning natural heritage that makes Ashton Court Estate so special - it's a nationally important site for wildlife, insects and trees.
Festival productions take place outside in the gardens at the rear of the main house, at the foot of the sweeping drive.By car exit the M5 at junction 19.
