St George's Church, Brandon Hill, Concert hall and Grade II* listed church building in Bristol, England

The building on Great George Street features Greek Revival architecture with pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and detailed window tracery from the early 19th century.

The church, constructed between 1821 and 1823 by architect Sir Robert Smirke, received funding from the government under the Church Building Act of 1818.

The venue presents over 200 annual events, including classical concerts, jazz performances, folk music, world music shows, and opera productions.

The main auditorium holds 562 people, while the renovated crypt contains a bar and recording studios that the BBC frequently utilizes.

The building transformed from a religious space to a music venue in 1999, replacing traditional pews with padded chairs and modifying the gallery seating.
