Ashton Court Estate, situated on the outskirts of Bristol, United Kingdom, is a historic mansion and expansive parkland rather than a traditional nightclub; however, it has been an iconic venue for a wide array of cultural and musical events over the decades. Originally built in the 11th century and extensively rebuilt in the 19th century, the estate was once the family home of the Smyth family before coming under Bristol City Council's care in the 20th century. While the estate itself is not a nightclub, its lush grounds and distinctive architecture have made it a beloved backdrop for open-air concerts, raves, and festivals, especially during the rise of the UK's dance and electronic music scene from the 1990s onward.

Ashton Court has a reputation as a vibrant cultural hub within the Bristol area, notably being home to the celebrated Ashton Court Festival, which from 1974 to 2007, drew thousands for performances spanning rock, pop, electronica, and beyond. The estate's atmospheric surroundings and proximity to Bristol, a city famed for pioneering genres like trip-hop and drum and bass, lent it a special status among music fans and artists alike. Over time, the venue has adapted to the needs of modern events, with various renovations and improvements making it more accessible and suitable for large-scale gatherings, though the original manor house and historical features remain focal points.

Its legacy continues not only as a testament to Bristol’s innovative music spirit but also as a gathering place for uniting local communities and fostering emerging talent. Notable artists who have performed at Ashton Court Estate include international acts such as Massive Attack, Portishead, Roni Size, The Chemical Brothers, and local legends like Tricky and Kosheen, along with various UK festival favorites such as Super Furry Animals, Goldie Lookin Chain, The Darkness, and Asian Dub Foundation.
