Arnolfini

Housed in a striking Grade II listed former tea warehouse, this dynamic cultural hub offers an ever-changing programme of cutting-edge visual arts, performance, dance, film, and music.

Since its founding in 1961, Arnolfini has been at the forefront of showcasing innovative international and local talent. Visitors can explore thought-provoking, free-to-enter exhibitions spread across large, light-filled gallery spaces.

Beyond the visual art, the venue boasts a dedicated reading room, a brilliant independent bookshop specializing in art and culture, and a highly popular café and bar overlooking the harbour.

On sunny days, sitting on the quayside outside Arnolfini with a drink, watching the boats go by, is an essential Bristol pastime. It is a must-visit for anyone looking to engage with modern creative ideas.
