17 shops! A must visit in Bristol.

Clifton Arcade in Bristol is a Victorian Shopping Arcade located on Boyces Avenue in Clifton. Originally opened back in 1878 the arcade has been fully restored and is a delight to visit with its eclectic range of shops.

There are 19 shops that are open daily offering up a vast range from quality gifts, antiques and jewellery through to vintage and hand crafted clothing. These are products you are unlikely to find on the High Street and it really is a must visit if you are out and about shopping in Bristol. The Primrose Cafe is also there to help you refuel with fresh, home cooked food, cakes, teas, juices and coffees.
