A unique arts centre with a strong local following, SouthBank offers live music, dance nights and a multifaceted venue that is unchallenged in Bristol in atmosphere and capacity. Only 5 minutes from the floating harbour, SouthBank is a hidden gem waiting to inspire you to dance, watch, listen, and meet like-minded people. It is Southville's newest scene, and unquestionably it's most interesting venue.The building, constructed in 1881, originally a mission hall and latterly a busy traditional social club, has re-invented itself as a vibrant hub for dance, music, arts and community events with a cinema space, garden, gallery and lively dance classes. The building has had many of its fine original features revealed including the restoration of the beautiful church style windows.
