Me and my mates were just walking around the area when we saw a cave outta nowhere. We closed near it just to hear the maniacal cackle of a few women and were taken apart. That and the digital alarm-like text above the door and the general griminess of the day led us to believe we had stumbled upon a midday witch convention. We thought it was just a coincidence but the cackling didn't stop. Either way, it wasn't a witch convention and that group of women visiting the current attraction should not be allowed near caves of moaning women turned soundscapes, like this was during our visit.

A really interesting place to visit. You need to look out for art installations or special events as the caves are not normally open. They go quite a long way into the cliff and are a mixture of small walkways and larger caverns. All of it was mined to get the rock and sand for Bristol’s glass industry. The history is worth exploring.

Had the chance to explore the caves as part of Open Doors and loved it. Staff/helpers were lovely, welcoming and knowledgeable! Bristol Film Festival use the caves for their Horror series, well worth a visit too!

Amazing how they use the cave to screen movies, the gentleman who was making the introductions was quirky and very good, very informative and friendly. I will definitely go again, such a great experience

Great unusual experience. Screening of a masterpiece piece underground. There was a technical glitch but the crowd rolled with it. But overall was great and would love to do it again. * plastic chairs *

Description
Redcliffe Caves are a series of man made tunnels beneath the Redcliffe area of Bristol, England. The Triassic red sandstone was dug into in the Middle ages to provide sand for glass making and pottery production. Further excavation took place from the 17th to early 19th centuries and used for storage of trade goods.
