Welcome to Bristol's Harbourside

Bristol's harbourside is buzzing with artistic and cultural activity, from the city centre to the Cumberland Basin. From cutting-edge visual art and performance to cinema, interactive activities for the whole family and exhibits from Bristol's maritime heritage, the harbourside offers so many things to do and much more than the usual day out.

Bars, restaurants and cafes, some housed in converted transit sheds and tea warehouses, line the quayside, alongside historic ships and industrial cranes, offering views over the harbour and great places to eat out.

Throughout the year there is a diverse and exciting array of events on the harbourside, including the Soil Association Organic Food Festival and the spectacular EDF Energy Bristol Harbour Festival.

If you are looking to stay on the harbourside, the accommodation available ranges from self catering,waterside apartments to convenient, budget hotels and four star hotels with all the facilities and comfort you could want.
