and not a smart phone in sight how beautiful is that ... crowd present and up for it not wondering how may like it gets ... just going for it ... well that's my era .. put he phone down and live......yes im in the pics and was there every week as this was one of the best clubs in the uk hands down .. from Face days til i left England.. Sally and Dom thanks for making the best space to let go and enjoy..xxxx
The year was '99, shirts were off, drugs were flowing, glowsticks were waving, people were dancing and the atmosphere was off the fucking wall, we can never go back but we can always remember!
This makes me so fucking sad man. I would give so much to go and do it all over again. Now we are old and I feel sorry that the new generations dont have this.
Amazing place in the old hard core trance days, Lisa lashes 2000 and Mark E G.. Awesome times, miss the ppl, the music the fucking drugs.. I mean im married now, child four here in 5wks WTF happen!???.. HAPPY DAYS! :)
Used to work at the bowling alley next door. Finish work at 10pm. Straight into Claire's for a few hours. Hit the Monastry 12 till 8am then onto No.12 pub opposite the police station from 8am till midday.... great times. What a club
I wish it would come back. I was an English language student in Torquay in 1992 and they rented out the nightclub to the STS and EF language schools. Spend many evenings there, and a course mate's English boyfriend worked there, he worked for STS
I was a language student in Torquay in 1992 and we used to go here frequently. STS and EF language schools used this club as their disco. Wished I'd taken more pics. Is it still up n running?

Absolutely adored the place!! Emerging into the sunlight absolutely mullered was something else...
No club has equalled it since for me.
This was the same the dance academy, dark and underground with a true noting matters atmosphere. This was just smaller but just as good.

been to clubs all around the uk in the late 90s early 2000s. Gatecrasher was my favourite, but this was a very close second. Was amazing.
Delivered here the other day,been converted to flats. Although I never went to monastery I think I would have loved it
here or Plymouth's dance academy... 2 of the best clubs in the south west
The music, so unique , I can not find anything else like IT...!!!!!!!!!!!!
The language schools STS, EF and ASSE used to use the club as well. Lots of memories
Those were the days. Big up the monastery crew.
Lots of memories from my English language course in 1992
This place made me as a person, gave me confidence respect and a massive love of house Tim harrison the survivor !!
Fuck yeah this club was epic. Someone needs to open a club where smartphones are not allowed.
Great

There is no equal and never will be.!!!

Who else remembers no alcohol, only soft drinks lol , I'll have a coffee white with 2 please, let's fuckin av it ogie ogie ogie! !!!!!
