City tour: Bristol’s old city and street art

Register to book your place


Welcome to the wonderful city of Bristol, the cultural hub of the South West! Join us for a free tour of the old city centre and Gloucester Road – the longest road of independent shops anywhere in the UK!

During this tour, friendly guide Luke will show you some of Bristol’s famous street art, including graffiti by the one and only Bristol-born Banksy. He’ll also take you through some of Gloucester Road, renowned for its endless independent cafés, bakeries, microbreweries and shops. You’ll get to see some of Bristol’s hotspots, as well as some hidden gems, which all add to the uniqueness of our city.

Please dress according to the weather, with a raincoat or an umbrella to hand, and wear comfortable shoes for those rolling hills!

This event is free and open to all students. Availability is limited and booking is essential to guarantee your place.
