Guide to Bristol

From the longest chain of independent shops in Europe to our own community currency, Bristol is proud to be an independent city. A place like no other; even the houses are colourful. Bristol has a strong tradition of activism, with citizens who are engaged, expressive and ever-ready to get involved. When we became the first city outside London to choose a directly-elected Mayor, people seized the opportunity for a new approach to politics.

A playful, playable city, there’s so much to see and do. Practice parkour at the UKCF academy, have a game of ping-pong at tables across the city, or be amazed by a high-flying circus act. Hot air balloons are one of Bristol’s most iconic symbols and every year over 150 take to the skies in the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta.

“Being a Hybr Student Ambassador was the best experience whilst at university. It provided so many unique opportunities and even helped land me my first job our of uni!”

Lisa

Brand Ambassador

“Hybr were very capable of dealing with me. Each member of staff had a very professional approach. I rate their business approach very highly.”

Rob

Bristol Landlord

“Borough Market is in London Bridge, it has lots of stalls, bars and restaurants to choose from. It’s really nice to grab something from a stall and find somewhere to sit near the river”

Brandon Hill

Brandon Hill is near the University of Bristol, a park with Brandon Tower at the top of a hill, it’s a great vantage point for looking out over Bristol and Somerset beyond with a couple of beers and some friends.

SpikeIsland

Spike Island is a gallery space that puts on regular exhibitions for emerging artists. It’s definitely worth having a regular look at the programme.

Clifton Downs

Clifton Downs is an area of public open space in Bristol, England, north of the village of Clifton. With its neighbour Durdham Down to the northeast, it constitutes the large area known as The Downs, much used for leisure including walking and team sports.

Watershed

Watershed is great for any cinephiles, it’s a cultural cinema that has a café and bar, showing regular screenings of both new and older films. It’s right by the river so is amazing in summer.
