Bristol

Bristol

This vibrant city is an epicentre for today’s buzzing youth culture in Britain, and is renowned for its art and music scenes. Bristol is home to a mass of fantastic street art including works by the famous Banksy and has many galleries dedicated to both contemporary and classical works, and also plays host to a widely varied contemporary live music culture. 

The lively and effervescent nature of Bristol means it's no surprise the city hits the headlines for events such as when a huge 90m (295ft) waterslide was set up on a downhill section of Park Street; a road which was nominated for a Google award as the UK’s hippest street. There is as much happening on the streets of Bristol as there is indoors, and you'll always find something amazing to do here!
