About Arnolfini Gallery
Walk through our doors at Arnolfini Gallery and you'll find yourself in one of Europe's most exciting contemporary arts venues, right here on Bristol's harbourside. We've been part of the cultural fabric of this city for decades, and our three floors buzz with creative energy every single day. Our galleries transform constantly with cutting-edge visual arts exhibitions, while our theatre/cinema auditorium switches seamlessly between dance performances, film screenings, music events and theatrical productions. For your party or event, we offer these same inspiring spaces - imagine hosting your celebration surrounded by thought-provoking art or in our atmospheric auditorium. The Café Bar, run by our friends at Bristol Beer Factory, opens onto the waterfront with tables spilling outside when the weather's good. They craft their menu using ingredients from local suppliers, and the bar serves everything from morning coffee to evening cocktails. Our specialist art bookshop stocks an incredible range of art and culture publications - guests often browse between courses or during event breaks. We've made sure everyone feels welcome here. Our building is fully accessible with lifts to all floors, and we have gender-neutral and accessible toilets on both the ground and second floors. While we're usually open during standard gallery hours, we're flexible with private hire times and can work around your schedule. Whether you're planning an exhibition launch, a creative workshop, a corporate gathering, or a celebration with an artistic edge, our spaces adapt to your vision. Being so close to Bristol city centre means your guests can easily reach us by foot, bike, or public transport. We're not just another venue - we're a living, breathing arts space where your event becomes part of Bristol's cultural story.
