Lido and gardens planned for Redcliffe Wharf
Ambitious plans have been revealed for Redcliffe Gardens and Lido on what is now the unloved Redcliffe Wharf.
The aim is to create a “waterside village green” with:
- a beach
- a restaurant
- entertainment space
- markets
- a theatre
- artists in residence
- “human-powered cinema”
- an eco/wellness spa
Redcliffe Wharf could be transformed into “a laboratory of sustainable ideas”.
EatDrink24/7 Launch Party is back on July 8 2026!
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.
It also looks like it could be a whole load of fun, especially with artist impressions showing a swimming pool on a barge moored on the Floating Harbour.
No funding is yet in place for the plans, but it is hoped that businesses will be able to contribute ideas and technology for free, with the project showcasing Bristol’s environmental credentials during next year’s European Green Capital year.
