Dance group in Bristol

“Good quiz - great fun with the friends with which I chose to attend. Business cards are of high quality. They sell beer here. Only one full of unbridled spite could possibly in earnest leave a bad review of this establishment.”

“Better Beats were fab at my party. We all danced the night away. I would thoroughly recommend them!”

“My daughter & I love Liesel’s classes. We started when she was age 2/3 and she is still dancing now (age 5). Liesel is always so friendly, enthusiastic and attentive, giving individual feedback. Definitely recommend.”

“Amazing for young people to engage with others.”

“I have been visiting Alice’s studio for a little over a year now, and she is just amazing. I started as a complete beginner joining the mixed Ariel class, to doing Ariel yoga and then private 1:1 classes to really work on my skills. My confidence, strength and ability has come on leaps since joining. It’s a great, creative and fun exercise to keep you fit and strong while truly enjoying yourself and embracing new skill sets.”

“The Ship Band were fantastic. They managed to get everyone up and dancing, and we all really enjoyed ourselves (even those who were sceptical about a Ceilidh). My husband and I were so glad we hired them for our special day.”

“Just wanted to say a huge thank you for a brilliant party, the children (and adults) were totally entertained and everyone has said what a lovely time they had. Renee said when we got home that she wants you both to do her party next year! Hope you are having a well deserved rest today! Thanks again Sarah”

“A Heartfelt Tribute to Fat Sams Nightclub: The End of an Era As I reflect on my recent visit to Fat Sams Nightclub for its final night, I am filled with both nostalgia and deep gratitude for the remarkable venue it has been. My relationship with the club spans over two decades, having had the pleasure of assisting in a small way with setting up an old sound system when it first opened its doors. Even though I had a minor involvement, the memories I have from those early days and the more recent experiences are rich and meaningful. Visiting Fat Sams for its farewell was both a bittersweet and joyous occasion. From the moment I stepped through the doors, I was reminded of the warmth and friendliness that defined this venue. The staff, from security to bartenders, were not only professional but also genuinely approachable and welcoming. Security personnel were vigilant but maintained a pleasant demeanor, striking the perfect balance between ensuring safety and contributing to the atmosphere. The bar staff, quick and efficient, delivered service with a smile, adding to the inclusive, friendly vibe that Fat Sams has always been known for. Despite the passage of time, the venue itself remained largely unchanged in its layout, preserving the character that made it unique. Yes, the space was small, with a familiar pinch point near the bar and gents' toilets, but that never detracted from the overall experience. The separate dancefloor and disco area maintained the vibrant energy I fondly remembered. It was as if the spirit of the place had been carefully preserved, even as the years passed. I understand that in recent times, Fat Sams, like many other nightclubs, struggled with lower footfall. The changing landscape of nightlife—fewer young people drinking, and the rise of venues like Wetherspoons that cater to a different crowd—undoubtedly presented challenges. As someone who operates a venue myself, I empathize deeply with the difficulty of keeping a nightclub afloat during quiet periods. It's heartbreaking to witness the decline of a place that you've poured your heart and soul into, especially when the passion and effort to maintain high standards are evident at every turn. I have to say, I was genuinely impressed by the quality and care evident in every aspect of Fat Sams during my last visit. From the state-of-the-art Void sound system to the computerized lighting setup, the venue was not only modern but impeccably maintained. Shaun and his team clearly invested a tremendous amount of effort into ensuring that everything remained top-notch. Their commitment to creating a great atmosphere, even in the face of quieter nights, is a testament to their dedication and passion for the industry. It is with a heavy heart that I acknowledge the closure of one of the last rural nightclubs in the Southwest. Fat Sams will undoubtedly be missed by its loyal patrons who partied there for years, right up until the very end. The final night was a fitting tribute to the club's legacy, with the hardcore supporters staying until the early hours, myself included. It felt only right to be one of the last to leave, having been part of the journey in some small way, and to celebrate the end of an era. To Shaun and the entire team at Fat Sams, I offer my utmost respect and sincere gratitude. Your tireless efforts to maintain a venue that was always welcoming, fun, and meticulously operated did not go unnoticed. Though the doors have now closed, the memories made there will live on. I’m proud to have revisited and stood with you until the very end. Thank you for the many years of joy, music, and unforgettable nights. Wishing you all the best in your future endeavors, and much respect for the incredible work you've done over the years. Fat Sams may be gone, but it will never be forgotten. With deepest gratitude, Paul Stoodley”

“Me and my cousin were hunting for a club and stumbled across Labyrinth. What caught our eye? The owner’s savage sarcastic replies to reviews – we just had to see what kind of place this was. Turns out, it’s amazing! Great vibe, super friendly staff, and we even met a cool Polish security guy who made the night even better. Totally worth the curiosity trip!”

“Great service and good food! Staff are lovely and very accommodating to needs and requests! Lamb doner is a highlight, wasn't quite so impressed with the Lamb Kofte.. However prices are very reasonable and portion sizes are huge! Service is quick and efficient, they have a great work ethic and system within the team! Have visited twice, high spirited atmosphere and you feel welcome as soon as you go through the door!”

“best club i’ve been to by far. staff are all really friendly and helpful and there’s always a bouncer around if you need help with anything. drinks are priced reasonably and the atmosphere is great. there is also an event for everyone no matter what type of music you like. will definitely be going back”

“Went to the stand up comedy show. So good. Host Danni Johns was amazing and witty and all the 3 acts were hilarious. Deffo will come back.”
