Exclusive collabs from Bristol’s favourite food vendors, available for one night only. Be first to grab your free copy of the EatDrink24/7 guide – plus every ticket comes with a free limited-edition beer can.

The space is now celebrating 15 years of provision not only of affordable space, but of a community to artists in south Bristol.

The annual weekend offers a chance to get to know artists, their process, and their working environment, as well as opportunities to purchase.

Independent food vendors will also be on hand in the foyer to offer refreshments across the weekend.
