Sparks Bristol - Bristol

What an excellent place! It’s great to see somewhere that is embracing the conversation about human impact on the planet in such a colourful and approachable way.
I went with friends and we found some great vintage clothes, super-cool upcycled furniture and gorgeous locally made hot sauce.
We also ate there and the food was truly excellent. I didn’t expect a vegan salad box to be up to much and it was delicious and filling - plenty of body, crunch and flavour!
You should plan to spend a good few hours here if you’re visiting Bristol.

A hub with different features in city center. It is all about sustainability and environment. You will find booths for small different enterprises. Clothes, plants, furniture , etc.
The second floor has a large hall for events and seminars. I went there for Bristol Urban forum and enjoyed the place.
They still have to figure out how to use this massive space efficiency. Also, need to replace gender nuteral washrooms with separate ones.

Sparks,
The answer is take a look.

Great access to all, wide open spaces and not cluttered and difficult to pass.

Inspirational Art projects. Interesting interior
Great concept and good for the planet.
Walk in and there is a small cafe. Lots of items, look and you will see.
Yes to a visit, who knows what you will find and how you will be inspired.

This is in the building that used to house M&S, hence the name 'Sparks' but the place couldn't be more different! A collection of Bristol artists, creators, musicians, thinkers, idealists, and campaigners have this space now which serves as lots of things, from a way to shop local small business, somewhere to have coffee and cake, to exhibiting local art, to showing innovative recycling methods. It's a buzz of positive activity with so much to see, and I really hope that it continues - what a joyful, eccentric, and fun place to be and shop in the centre!

Came into sparks very recently and found the massage area, so had to try as ive not had a proper massage and suffer with severe anxiety and adhd.
The massage was the best thing ever, the lady was so soothing and caring, the massage was wonderful and the room and area was really beautiful and calming. She says they are developing this space soon so you can sit and relax after massage so I'm coming back for this soon! Thank you so much Sparks for offering this and thanks to the massage lady (didnt get her name)

Queer and Quirky! Interesting goods from some awesome stalls with wonderful people, probably one of the best things to come to broadmead in many years! With an excellent function space upstairs, this place should be on any locals radar to support your community!

I noticed a magical place called Sparke in Bristol on my outing yesterday, it really was a tardis of memories, idea, culture and kindness. I was surprised to find another magical place inside by the entrance - which was created for wellbeing treatments,so I enquired and the therapist traveled within 1 hour across Bristol to treat me.
She was incredibly intuitive so professional also she went through the mini consultation before treating the injuries and blockages I had
The treatment was so amazing thank you

Oh wow! Went today (Saturday 13:30) and had a great chat at the ‘Better by Bike’ corner. Felt right to go and have a coffee and light bites at the café. The young lady working informed us curtly, “I’m not going to serve you; I’m going on my lunch break!” Really ! At 13:30 on a Saturday! Hilarious. Please don’t moan when the inevitable happens.
