Shop Local: The Arcade is back open for business

Posted on: 02 Dec 2020

Support brilliant Bristol independents during this year's festive season.

 

The Arcade is officially back open to the public after lockdown, and with it comes the return of some of central Bristol's best-loved independent retailers, food and drinks spots and service providers.

 

With The Arcade currently set to remain open throughout the festive period, you can support its fantastic traders by buying a great range of gifts, stopping in for a snack during a shopping trip or booking appointments for December and January.

 

Located in the heart of Broadmead, The Arcade is open from 09:00 - 18:00 Monday to Saturday, and 10:00 - 16:00 every Sunday.

Home to everything from vintage fashion to bespoke gift cards, authentic Italian treats and even a tattoo parlour, The Arcade has emerged as a real hub for Bristol's extensive selection of independent businesses in recent years.

 

The historic shopping quarter should be the first stop of this year's Christmas shop for thousands of Bristolians, with a huge range of quality products and services available. 

 

In anticipation of shoppers returning this month, local artists Beki Wells and Itzel Technicolor have decorated some of The Arcade's shop fronts to add a little extra Christmas magic to the complex.

Having been forced to adapt their businesses and trade online for much of 2020, The Arcade's independents will be eagerly welcoming customers back through their doors seven days a week throughout December.
