We have many international visitors at The Session. The good news is that getting to The Session from most main airports is pretty easy and inexpensive.
If you have a choice, it’s best to arrive at Bristol International Airport as that’s the closest. They have a regular National Express coach service called the Bristol International Flier which takes you to the main Bristol train station, where you can hop on one of the frequent busses to Gloucester. Once you’re in Gloucester, it’s just a five minute taxi ride to the Holiday Inn, Barnwood.

Pit Hartling first gained international recognition for his role in the Flicking Fingers, the ten-group magic sensation that took FISM–and the the world–by storm. From there Hartling emerged with “Heinz,” an hilarious magic act where he played a dopey but lovable German close-up magician. Hartling has since toured the world performing as himself–the highly intelligent, innovative card magician. His first book, Card Fictions, received international acclaim.
