South Bristol Arts Trail Exhibition 2026

Discover a vibrant showcase of local creativity in our Café Bar, featuring work from talented artists taking part in this year's South Bristol Arts Trail. Ahead of the Arts Trail weekend, we'll be celebrating the incredible range of creative talent across South Bristol with a free exhibition featuring artists, makers and designers from the local area in Tobacco Factory Cafe bar. The South Bristol Arts Trail is a free, annual event that brings together artists, makers and creative spaces across Southville, Bedminster and Ashton. Each year, over 100 local artists open their homes, studios and community spaces, transforming the neighbourhood into a vibrant trail of creativity. From painting, illustration and printmaking to ceramics, sculpture, textiles and performance, the Trail celebrates the brilliant variety of artistic talent on our doorstep, with plenty of opportunities to discover new favourites along the way. Join us for the Arts Trail weekend at Tobacco Factory on the 19th & 20th September 2026, from 11am-5pm, with the exhibition, artist stalls and a special Saturday art Market taking place as part of the celebrations. The exhibition will be running from Tues 18th Aug - Sun 4th Oct, come check it out!
