In a fantastic waterside location at the heart of Bristol’s Harbourside, the Arnolfini is housed in a converted warehouse and is one of Europe’s leading centres for the contemporary arts. With art exhibitions, a cinema, live art and dance, as well as one of the country’s best arts bookshops and a café bar, there is always something new to see.
Entrance to the building and the galleries is completely free, making the Arnolfini an ideal place to explore contemporary arts, whether you have a few minutes or a few hours to spare. Keep an eye out for the centre’s family friendly Mash Up events - free drop-in activity days offering creative activities for people of all ages.
The Arnolfini is also a perfect location to soak up the sun. Sitting on the quayside with a drink on a summer evening is a quintessentially Bristol experience and the Arnolfini’s café bar serves a menu of fresh, locally sourced food and Fairtrade tea and coffee.
