The South Bristol Arts Trail is open to everyone, and is a family friendly weekend celebration. This year the Trail will be taking place on 14 & 15 September in venues across Southville, Bedminster and Ashton.

Wander your way through the streets of BS3 and discover new artists, favourite local venues and creatives that might just surprise you. You’ll be able to find 115 local artists who will be exhibiting in around 35 venues.

Workshops & Performances

Getting Here

We recommend walking, using public transport or bicycle to visit the Trail, as parking in the area can be a little cosy.

If you do need to come by car, please be aware that some streets across BS3 have a residents parking permit in place, some of which still operate on weekends.
