Southbank Bristol Arts Trail 2009

The Southbank Bristol Arts Arts Trail 2009 is here!

We have lots of things happening over the weekend of the 9th and 10th May 2009. With over 150 artists showing at over 50 venues, large and small, and many events and activities to watch or take part in, it's an event not to be missed! Check out the Arts Trail page for more information.

Most of the venues are within a short walk of each other, and there are of cafés and restaurants on and around the trail, plus many venues will be selling food and drink. The Southville Centre is at the centre of the trail, showing work from over 30 artists and it also has a café, bar and activities for all ages.

We are very excited by the line up of venues offering performances. There are several smaller venues and houses showing performances of various types, and lots going on at the Tobacco Factory on both Saturday and Sunday afternoons. On Sunday morning there will be an extended Tobacco Factory Market with lots of stalls selling everything from organic foods to hand made craft items.

Make an envelope at the Southville Centre, collect words around the trail, visit the Gallery on the Green, join in with the drawing workshop at Bristol South Swimming Pool, and see live graffiti demonstrations by local graffiti artists (weather dependent) outside the Pool, in Dame Emily Park. For more information on the events that you can take part in, please see the Events and activities page.

There are lots more things happening throughout the weekend. It's a great day out for all the family with plenty to do and see. It's a really economical day out as practically all the venues are free of charge to enter, and if you do decide to buy some art, it is available at affordable prices.

There are trail guide leaflets available at the major venues, such as the Southville Centre, Tobacco Factory and Glass Designs on North Street. These are also available on the Downloads (Trail brochure, etc.) page.
