WHAT'S ON?
Bristol is a lively university city with so much to do and see! Have a look at Bristol's official tourist information site. There is something for everyone! https://visitbristol.co.uk/
In the following section there is information about the places and activities which are the most popular with our students.
Cinemas - The most convenient cinemas are the Showcase cinema de lux at Cabot Circus (a large multiplex cinema in the Centre) and the Bristol Westbury Park cinema in Henleaze (small local cinema close to many students' homestays). The historic Whiteladies Picture House has also recently reopened and is located just 5 minutes on foot from the school.
Music - Bristol is famous for its music scene. You could see a different band every night of the week. Local bands include Massive Attack and Portishead. Popular venues: Bristol O2 Academy, Colston Hall and the Fleece. If you like jazz, head for the Old Duke. For classical music, go to St George's on Brandon Hill.
Festivals - Great Britain, and Bristol and the local area in particular, have some amazing festivals in the summer. Click here to get a list of festivals this summer.
Clubs -Embargo (on the Triangle) is the club in Clifton which is currently most popular with our students. Pryzm and Panache are much bigger and are in the city centre.
Pubs -Channings (traditional and 2 minutes from Pembroke House), The White Harte (top of Park Street is popular with students, especially on Thursdays).
Restaurants - Good value for money: Toro Pan Asian (Park Street), Pizza Provencale (Regent Street - Clifton). If you want to impress your parents, try Cote in Clifton Village or Browns (next to the City Museum).
