West Street Story

Work is nearly finished on West Street as Old Market prepares to open its doors to a host of exciting art and community-related events from January 2012

Number 6 West Street is being re-developed by Trinity to provide a hub for community and arts activities including affordable meeting and office space with reduced rates for local people and groups, a café with free wi-fi and low-cost internet access and exhibition space for local artists.

Last week, we unveiled Bristol graffiti artists Silent Hobo and Mr Riks' dynamic makeover of the front of the building. The artists have created an attention-grabbing mural depicting the cityscape of Old Market spotted with emerging butterflies and a friendly-looking pigeon!

West Street will initially be running activities on a Tuesday evening and Saturday daytime while building works are still being carried out. The full launch of the cafe with regular opening times is planned for January 2012.

Volunteer committee meetings take place every Thursday, with start times alternating each week between 4pm and 6pm. Other events taking place over the next few months include:
film night on November 8

indoor picnic on November 12

acoustic night on November 15

word up games night on November 22

art workshop on November 26

We'll be posting details of more events as soon as they've been confirmed. Watch this space for updates.
