Southville

Creative, colourful and on the rise — North Street, the Tobacco Factory & Upfest

Southville and neighbouring Bedminster have transformed into one of Bristol's most creative quarters — North Street's independents, the Tobacco Factory theatre and market, and Europe's largest street-art festival, Upfest.

Colourful Victorian and Edwardian terraces dominate, drawing young families, creatives and professionals who want character, community and quick access to the harbourside.
