Community sponsorship makes a real difference to the impact the Trail has; the number of local people we’re able to reach out to and the amount of advertising, workshops and level of artist support we can deliver.
We’re always happy to hear from local businesses and organisations interested in supporting the Arts Trail. We distribute thousands of maps, posters and postcards across Bristol including in local cafes, shops, bars, community centres, libraries and galleries. We also use our website, newsletter and social media to highlight our wonderful sponsors.
Lead Supporter 2024
Award-winning, independent Bristol estate agents Boardwalk are passionate about beautiful homes, champion high-quality photography & marketing and love to celebrate the creativity that Bristol just oozes in.
“We try to reflect our city’s character and creativity in the way we sell our homes, absolutely no shiny suits or pointy shoes! Instead, we look beyond the bricks and mortar and dive head-first into the incredible stories and lives that people have built within them. Forever inspired by the eclectic interior styles and artwork in the homes we sell across the city, we take great pride in showcasing them in their very best light, in new and engaging ways.”
Even if you’re not looking to sell, enjoy browsing Boardwalk‘s Instagram for all sorts of wonderful interior and lifestyle inspiration.
Map Sponsor
The Bedminster BID Board voted to support The South Bristol Arts Trail, as a local and much loved weekend showcasing all sorts of creativity in BS3.
BBID recently hosted the Big Weekender on East Street, which was the launch event for Bristol Art District – the street closure on East Street for the Big Weekender was a real success for traders and the wider community.

Bristol is a vibrant, diverse and innovative city. Across each neighbourhood, people are doing incredible things for their community, day in-day-out. Bristol Beer Factory is proud to support a range of local projects, but in recent years we have seen the challenges they experience increasing. We want to do more to help, which is why we have introduced a self-imposed community tax of 2% on our total brewery sales to invest in activities that uplift people or places across the city. We call this Brewed to Give!
Over the next year, Brewed to Give will invest £80k through a mix of stock, space and direct support. With a little assistance and use of our event equipment, we want to help our community turn this investment into £250k+ of unrestricted funds. If you’re planning a fundraising event for a local cause – we’ve got you covered! Head online to find out how to request BBF stock, space or direct support.
Workshop Sponsor
As a market leader in creating vibrant city centre homes, we at Dandara Living understand the value of community and the powerful role that the arts and creativity have in bringing people together.
We are thrilled to announce our sponsorship of the 2023 South Bristol Arts Trail, which is a testament to the diverse and dynamic artistry Bristol boasts. We are deeply proud to play a part in an event that truly epitomises the spirit of the local community.
Supporters
The Spotted Cow has a rich heritage dating back to Bedminster’s agricultural past and has stood for over 200 years. We aim to provide a quality community pub serving up great food, drinks, and music. The pub also benefits from a large walled garden to the rear which is a great suntrap and a perfect oasis to escape from the city. Thanks to the lovely wood burner in winter and our spacious garden we like to say we have a country pub feel in the city.
