About this location
The Withywood Centre is a community centre in Withywood, the south Bristol estate area west of Hartcliffe and south of Bedminster. Three separate hire spaces give productions flexibility: the Combined Halls at 120-person capacity for larger setups, and the Mendip Hall and Geoff Cargill Hall both at £25/hr for smaller crews. At £25/hr these are the lowest community hall hire rates in the Bristol Tagvenue market — accessible to student productions from the University of the West of England and UWE’s Hartcliffe campus. South Bristol’s suburban estate character provides a social housing and suburban residential exterior that differs from the city centre and the Clifton and Harbourside areas where many Bristol productions concentrate.
For productions that need a Bristol social housing or post-war estate exterior — a visual register that neither the Georgian Clifton nor the harbourside regeneration areas provide — south Bristol’s Withywood and Hartcliffe area is one of the few options in the city. The Mendip Hall and Geoff Cargill Hall at £25/hr each provide community hall interiors at entry-level rates: wooden floors, institutional windows, the standard community hall format that appears regularly in social realism drama and documentary work. On-site parking at the community centre. BS13 postcode is accessible from the A38 south Bristol corridor. Booking via Tagvenue; each hall is listed separately with individual pricing and availability.
