“Eastenders has the Mitchells, Bristol had the Smyths. Join us on a journey and meet the dynast that gave us Ashton Court Mansion. Imposters, buried treasure, a lost ring and it’s even better than a soap opera because it really happened.”

With support from Arts Council England, Show of Strength will be engaging audiences in stories from the 16th – 20th centuries, highlighting Bristol’s history and offering a family-friendly experience.
“Ashton Court is one of Britain’s best loved parks, but the history of the family is a hidden gem that very few people know,” Sheila Hannon, Show of Strength’s Creative Producer says.
