Arts Trail Access
The South Bristol Arts Trail has been running for over 10 years and is now a well established part of the arts calendar in Bristol. As well as exhibiting artists and workshops, there are a great range of restaurants and cafes on route making for the perfect refreshment pit stop when needed! Some venues may also be offering light refreshments and cake.
We have a good number of fully accessible venues and we encourage walking or cycling between venues where possible.
We are working towards becoming a more accessible Arts Trail, helping people feel more included in Bristol’s creative community.
Lots of the free workshops taking place this weekend have great tactile materials involved and are a pressure-free way to begin accessing and enjoying art.
Use the key at the bottom of each page of the map to find:
- Venues that are step-free and have wheelchair access
- Places you can stop for a cuppa or a bite to eat
- Outside artwork that can be viewed from the pavement
- Toilets
You can also visit The Southville Centre or St Aldhelm’s Church to take advantage of one of our Restful Stops; Dedicated places for rest. Places where you are welcome to take a seat and have a breather. Enjoy a moment of quiet time. Lie down, stretch, relax, do what you need to do. Safe spaces that carry no expectation or pressure.
Large Print Maps – Large print, simplified versions of our Arts Trail Map can be picked up at The Southville Centre, Beauley Road, BS3 1QG. Whether you have limited sight or use a screen reader, we hope these larger print versions will be helpful to guide you around the Trail.
