Bristol’s first upside-down house opens its doors

By Martin Booth  Monday Feb 17, 2025

You can’t miss Bristol’s first upside-down house which has been painted on the outside in a bright shade of magenta.

But it is on the inside where the fun really takes place.

As its name suggests, gravity has been inverted in the interior of the house, which sees paying guests walk on the ceiling as tables, chairs, beds, toilets and more hang above them.

There are plenty of places to take photos on the two floors.

And it is when these pictures are flipped 180-degrees that the point of Bristol’s newest attraction becomes clear.

Upside-Down House Bristol is located on Anchor Square between We The Curious and Bristol Aquarium. Tickets cost £6.95 per person with under-threes going free.
