The return of a unique Bristol venue
The bejewelled doors of a unique Bristol venue will open on November 28 “welcoming revellers, partygoers and bon vivants” for events including the tenth birthday party of Bristol24/7.
Made of wood with intricately carved panels, stained glass windows and bevelled mirrors, the Spiegeltent follows a long tradition of travelling dance halls bars and entertainment salons.
Returning to Waterfront Square near Millennium Square for its 13th year, the Spiegeltent promises “the perfect mix of finery, frippery, nonsense and nostalgia”.
