FAQ's

What is a Spiegeltent?

Spiegeltent translates as ‘mirror tent’ and they were created in the Flemish Region of Belgium in the late 19th century.

The magnificent round structure is made of dark wood with intricately carved panels, stained glass windows, bevelled mirrors and an impressive draped ceiling.

Don’t be fooled by the word ‘tent’, its nice and toasty. It’s modern, luxurious and even has underfloor heating!

Where is the Spiegeltent?

The Spiegeltent is located on Waterfront Square, Off Canons way, the Harbourside, Bristol BS15LL

Accessibility

Most parts of the venue are accessible, unfortunately the 120 year old Spiegeltent design means the booths and parts of the inner and outer circle have steps.
There are accessible toilets situated in the Foyer area near the main entrance to the Spiegeltent.
For our seated shows we have a designated accessible area with 6 spaces for wheelchairs. All 6 spaces each have a seat next to them for a companion.
