Admission is free, and guided tours are available for those interested in delving deeper into its rich history.

The church is quite beautiful. While the majority of its current structure dates back to the Victorian era, its origins are significantly older. The gentleman stationed at the entrance was exceptionally kind and welcoming.

Really beautiful cathedral and plenty for visitors to explore. There is so much history for one to explore. For free entrance fee, this cathedral is really a must see in Bristol.

My cousin and I visited this place as I wanted to see it. It is very beautiful inside and out. There was a group rehearsing music for an Evensong Service which was enjoyable to listen to. There was also a display about slavery which was quite informative.

Highly recommended to visit. The staff are great, the cafe is awesome and the exhibition was informative. There are some beautiful places in the Cathedral to reflect and to be still.. just outside the cafe is a small garden.. beautiful.. Highly recommended to visit..

Bristol Cathedral is absolutely magical ! truly surreal and breathtakingly beautiful place. The architecture, atmosphere, and sense of history make it an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend a visit to anyone who appreciates stunning cathedrals or simply wants a moment of peace and awe.

This is a beautiful church, I had a good nosy around, and in the cellar if you go down the steps, you'll find a new cafe selling authentic homemade Chilean food, coffees and cakes. You won't be able to miss it because you'll do what I did and follow your nose, it smells divine! The beef empanada was beautiful, and it was so lovely to sit in the warmth and take in the surroundings. Really finished off my trip nicely.

A gorgeous place to visit, with lots of information about the history of the church and its attendants on boards around the building. The stained glass windows in particular are absolutely stunning. It’s free to enter, so do make a donation or buy something from the shop if you’re able to.

This is truly a beautiful church. Well worth a visit. It's even nicer than the cathedral tbh. Lovely volunteers there too

Beautiful church nestled in the heart of Bristol, well worth your time if you’re walking by this place. The gardens are well maintained and there’s plenty of material in the church itself to guide you through a visit.

Absolutely beautiful and spectacular place to visit,lots to see and plenty of history to read around the building

ST MARY REDCLIFFE, BRISTOL. This large church is often called the city's second cathedral, and though it immediately appears high Victorian gothic, its origins lie in the 14th century. The north porch is famed for its sculptures, 19th century on the outside and ancient within, including many showing a range of strange beasts, and it also has a 15th century roof. It was in a room above this roof that the story of Thomas Chatterton, the legendary but well-meaning forger, began when he found a chest full of antique manuscripts and decided to create some of his own, including new examples of Shakespeare. The church is full of memorials of all kinds, from simple slabs bearing tools of the deceased's trade to elaborate tombs with painted effigies. It is clear that Elizabeth I was much respected here, and her effigy, now fixed in an unusual stance on a wall atop a narrow base, is almost startling in appearance. The various restorations over the years have resulted in a huge number of antique pieces of sculpture arranged along the inner walls for the visitor to make a close study.

A beautiful church and apparently the favourite of Queen Elizabeth I. Links to the foundation of the USA and retain the armour of admiral William Penn. Links to Bristols place in seafaring history including the slave trade where those sold into bondage by their own people where trafficked.

Memorial to Robert Thorne – A prominent merchant involved in early English trade with the New World.

Beautiful church open to the public, Mark was full of information about the history of the church. They have a cafe, lovely garden....well worth a visit.

A more beautiful location for my wedding I couldn't imagine. The vicar was a delight, the location wonderful and the history and atmosphere made everything perfect. Just a short drive on to penny brohn center. All round top location in Bristol, before even mentioning their great works of charity, top cafe and many community events

St Stephen's Church is a quiet corner of peace and history in the midst of Bristol's bustling city centre. The church impresses with its elegant late Gothic architecture and warm, welcoming atmosphere inside. The stained glass windows, old memorial plaques and organ create a special mood - you want to linger, be quiet and simply savour the moment. The church often hosts musical events, exhibitions and charity events, making it a lively centre of city life. A great place to take a break from the hustle and bustle and touch history.

I went as part of the moving Bristol Light Festival. Wonderful to see this beautiful space full of people enjoying a communal experience.

Lovely church. Saw it during the Bristol Light Festival. Just off Corn Street so lots happening there. Well worth a visit. Check when open.

Waaaaao So lovely and peaceful spiritual place ... We especially enjoyed every week's gig organised by great Musician and trumpet player David Mowat . What a great place that anyone can visit and enjoy amazing music . Highly recommend and don't forget to enjoy every week's gig with the cheerful performance of various artists. TR Xxxx

Christ Church with St Ewen is a historic Anglican church located on Broad Street in Bristol, England. It has a rich history and is known for its distinctive Georgian architecture and unique clock tower. History & Architecture Medieval Origins: The original Christ Church dates back to the 13th century and was an important part of Bristol’s religious and civic life. Reconstruction: The current church was rebuilt between 1786 and 1791 by the architect William Paty, in the Georgian style. Merger with St Ewen: In 1790, Christ Church was combined with St Ewen’s Church, which was then demolished. This led to the full name "Christ Church with St Ewen." Clock Tower: The church's clock is a well-known feature. While historically it had only one hand, today it has been updated to have two hands. Modern Use & Community The church remains an active place of worship, offering regular services following the 1662 Book of Common Prayer. It is involved in community outreach and maintains a welcoming atmosphere for visitors and worshippers. Interesting Facts The church stands at the entrance of Corn Street, one of Bristol’s historic trading streets. Its tower and spire are notable landmarks in the city’s skyline. The church is valued not only for its religious significance but also for its contribution to Bristol’s architectural heritage.

Delightfully eclectic mix of parishioners. A diverse group drawn together for the love of the Christian gospel so beautifully articulated in the 1662 Book of Common Prayer. All worship, both choral eucharistic and evensong is conducted with Thomas Cranmer's liturgical masterpiece. Bill Bryson would have a field day writing on the resident characters. The gentle minister desperate to see the church flourish as a community of believers. An eccentric gathering of retiring civic notables joined in the pews by surprisingly youthful men and women, alongside mums and dad's young choir members. It is a quinitsentially English experience. There's the gruff, the chatty and the shy. Due to years of falling income (Millenium grant essential) the place is shabby, and yet all the focus is on raising a mint to restore figures (quarterjacks) that ring the bells that tell the time. It's a joy to be a part, for you really couldn't make it up.

Very welcoming and the services are traditional with an excellent organ accompaniment.

Quick butchers in while open doors for the public, pretty impressive if on a small scale. Right in the centre of town close to St Nicks Market. Friendly and informative volunteers.

1662 common prayer book traditional service in the oldest church within the old city walls

The choir is beautiful

St Paul's is a stunningly beautiful church with a truly inclusive ethos. The fine choral music provided by the University Church Choir complements well the Anglican worship offered here on a Sunday. The preaching and theology is thoughtful, enquiring, and progressive. A safe and secure environment wherever one may be on their journey of faith.

A friendly, welcoming church community. The University of Bristol Church choir sing here during term-time. An inclusive church, all are welcome. The upper room and kitchen mean that the building is used for more than jut services.

Good welcome and an excellent Anglican eucharist. It was cold, though. Wear warm clothes.

Friendly atmosphere very welcoming

Beautiful concert venue

I went there for my grandmother's life celebration after the Canford Crematorium service and I must say, I missed going to a church. Being a Christian, I felt more religious within myself - I gave a wonderful memory speech in front of 200 people and it made me feel good about myself. I loved listening to the University of Bristol Church choir and singing the hymns.

Excellent pokestop! Would stop again x

Thanks to Vicar Jones & Church warden Jo for carrying out a beautiful serivce for my mother Wendy on the day of her funeral... thanks for making it a very special day ✨️

St. Gregory The Great is a beautiful church and has a lovely atmosphere. The congregation are very welcoming and friendly. They have afternoon tea on the last Thursday of every month at 2pm which is lovely.

Lovely church, and a very welcoming vicar. Small carpark. I went for the Christmas Fayre. Friendly people

heart-felt thanks for the space provided to Muslim Community

Come here to do wrestling club every Tuesday and Thursday evening, nice venue.

Have a link with this church childhood church sang in choir as did family was there for my dads funeral brought back lots of memories

Bristol christian Jacobite holy mass held on this church. (Kerala)

Lovely building. Great place. Ok I'm not religious at all but I do believe each person has every right to pray to whom or what ever they wish to. And what a lovely building to do so in

Wonderful funeral service for my Aunty Clarice in this historic building. X

Good space for community functions with great view of the city.

You could see this church from miles away, formidable building

Beautiful light and spacious church.

Interesting insight into Methodist history, worth an hour of your time in Bristol and if other events like a choir rehearsal are happening so much the better. 4 stars because I am interested in church history and even I accept it's not Alton Towers for the kids!

What an incredible visit to the John Wesley Museum! So powerful to walk through the history and realise just how far the Methodist movement has come. The space is beautifully preserved and really brings his story to life. It’s interactive, thoughtful, and actually great for kids too a brilliant way to engage all ages in such a meaningful legacy. Truly inspiring.

A fantastic museum looking at the life of John Wesley and the start of Methodism. They also have some great bits for kids which really kept our children engaged. Well worth a visit.

We visited the John Wesley Museum in Bristol on a Friday with our Sunday School children and their families, and it was a truly inspiring experience. John Wesley, such a powerful missionary in the UK, has left behind a rich legacy that continues to encourage both young and old. Our Sunday School lessons often focus on missionaries, so this trip brought the stories to life in a wonderful way. The children were especially excited to explore the exhibits—reading about natural remedies used in those times, seeing pictures from the old era, and learning more about John Wesley’s family. Parents were equally inspired, finding it both educational and spiritually uplifting. This museum beautifully preserves the old Christian heritage and culture of Britain. I highly recommend that everyone visit at least once—you will come away with a deeper appreciation of history, faith, and the lasting impact of John Wesley’s mission.

I am not a Methodist but came away with increased respect for the Methodist religion after visiting the church and museum. The displays in the museum do an excellent job of explaining who John Wesley was and his contribution to establishing what became known as the Methodist religion.

This is a delightful quiet haven in the the middle of Broadmead- on summer days they use a long paved tree shaded area out the back where you can have your coffee in the sunshine- staff delightful and the food and coffee excellent. Do give it a try!

This place is a must see, gem in Bristol. Such history in one location of John Wesley. His brother Charles Wesley house can also be seen in Charles Street.

A lovely hidden gem in the heart of the city! The City Farm is a peaceful, welcoming space that offers a refreshing break from the urban hustle. It’s completely free to enter and you can get up close with a variety of friendly animals. There’s a cozy little café on-site. They also sell plants and products, so you can support the farm while picking up something special.

Great charity. I've brought the kids here many times over the years. Today it was just me having a walk around, very peaceful place.

I’ve never been here before although being in Bristol for over ten years, a really relaxing day out for two young kids. Animal farm was amazing for a first hand experience petting animals had the kids going crazy! After so much excitement we popped over the street to try out the farm cafe. I’ve ordered some coffee hash breakfast, beans on toast and hot chocolates for everyone. Food quantity and quality is worth the money, you could taste the freshness of the carefully procured ingredients. 5*out of of 5*

What a wonderful place. St Werburgh’s City Farm is the sort of place that makes you stop and think—think about life, about community, about the sheer, unadulterated joy of doing something useful with your hands instead of hammering away at KPIs and ROI projections that will ultimately mean nothing when you’re worm food. We came here today as part of a work volunteering scheme. And this is, quite honestly, one of the best days of the year for me. Our host for the day was the utterly brilliant Alex, the farm’s site manager. You meet a lot of people in life, and some of them just get it. Alex gets it. He has the rare ability to be both welcoming and efficient, gently herding our corporate rabble into something resembling a useful workforce without once making us feel like we were in the way (which, let’s be honest, we probably were). We dug holes. We built fences. We did some plumbing. We even built benches. But more than anything, we took time out of our lives to be in nature, to be with people, to be part of something real. Because that’s what this farm is: something real. It’s for the community, run by the community, benefitting the community. It reminds us that life isn’t about boardrooms or spreadsheets, but about connection, about getting your hands dirty and actually doing something. If you get the chance to visit, go. If you get the chance to volunteer, definitely go. You’ll do yourself some good. You’ll do the community some good. And, in the end, that’s what life is really about.

St Werburghs City Farm offers a wonderful urban farm experience perfect for families and nature enthusiasts. The farm is well-maintained and home to a variety of animals, providing a fun and educational visit. The staff are friendly and passionate about their work. Highly recommend for a delightful day out in the city.

A wonderful place for a Saturday morning breakfast, staff lovely, food fantastic and the overall morning excellent. Recommended if you got kids, come, got a dog, come, got a craving for probably the best bacon sandwich in Bristol definitely come.

Really cool and quirky place, really loved the hobbit house esque cafe, had a nice day here

Visited during the Bristol Light Festival and the light show inside made this historic landmark (bombed in the war, no roof and a leaning tower) look amazing. A really good experience and even though busy was fine.

Ruins of an old church next to a shady park. Some parts are roped off, but you can still see most of the church and an outline of the original circular church. Great place to relax with your family and learn about the Knights Templar and the Bristol Blitz. Accessible through the front entrance. Free entry, free parking, child friendly and dog friendly.

An incredible location that stands as an example of the devastation of war. And yet despite this, it still stands proudly - despite slumping slightly to the side! It was a great experience being able to stand in the grounds of the church ruins during the Bristol Light Festival. The use of this church during activities like this is truly great.

Beautiful small spot within the modern city of Bristol.

What’s left of the church is cool, it’s got a weird lean to it. Homeless living inside it in tents and homeless in all the gardens, few drug addicts inside when we went too.

Beautiful heritage sight, ruined church. This place is very close to temple meads station. A small garden is connected to this old, non operational church. There is no roof to this structure. If you like to see old ,ruined archaeological structures, this is a place to visit.

A lovely little visit to the Church today in the sunshine. A nice green area next door to chill out and eat lunch. It's worth a visit if you are local.

Whilst in Bristol, Clifton Cathedral is this named because at the time of the restoration of the Catholic hierarchy after the reformation it was and still is unlawful for the Catholic Church to name a diocese after a pre existing Anglican diocese. Thus Clifton. The cathedral is from the early 1970s and thus similar to architecture of the time quite brutal and concrete winning a concrete award in 1973. The building is light and each seat has a clear line of sight to the Cathdra. The garden has a memorial to the polish katayn massacre committed by the Red Army in 1940s but credited to the Nazis of killing the Polish officer corp and others.

It's not much to look at from the outside, but inside its a peaceful, sparsely decorated place of worship. Light and airy and simply colour coordinated concrete, wood and ceramic floor tiles. The stained glass windows are offset and all seats have a good view to the altar. I visited with my wife and we remembered our dad's with the lighting of a candle

Great location in a quiet street with beautiful houses around it. The shape of the building is very remarkable and is seen from far away. The greenery around the cathedral is very pleasing to the eyes. The atmosphere of the place is calming and relaxing.

I visit when in the Bristol Clifton area. The location is peaceful, the building unique, similar I'm told to Liverpool cathedral. Built in the 70s. Inside one finds space, peace, quiet, and a place for reflection. The stained glass is beautiful. On Sundays at 11 a.m the Mass is sung with full choir.

Wonderful modern building with an unusually warm atmosphere. Great and friendly venue for a classical concert as part of the Clifton festival. Not sure about the religious bit I was visiting for the music so no judgement made.

Beautiful Cathedral, attended my Uncle's Memorial Mass.

A modern, structurally beautiful church and perfect setting for the candlelight string quartet. Staff are welcoming and overall the fever concert offered great value for money. Will definitely return!

Throughly enjoyed it. The players were very good. Candles were impressive. Something different.

Came to watch Fleetwood Mac by candlelight here. This church made the perfect venue for the event, a beautiful space and obviously great acoustics.

Such talented musicians who clearly loved the music they were playing, and their engagement with the audience was great. Very ethereal setting with the candles in a church setting. Fantastic performance and execution.

The most amazing and unforgettable experience! Totally recommended Candlelight 👌

Beautiful church in a great location in Clifton right next to St. Paul's. The architecture is similar to Gothic style but simpler somewhat. Lots of people enjoy conversations and snacks sitting on the grass surrounding the church. The street is quite lively during the day.

A beautiful candlelight experience, some of Hans Zimmer's best works performed by the Bristol quartet, an absolutely magical evening. I will definitely be seeing more of these candlelight experiences!

Undercroft (Crypt): Parts of the medieval structure, including the crypt, still survive beneath the church. Connection to Bristol Bridge: The church’s location made it significant in the city’s trade and development.

Always a friendly welcome here! A great newly established church, with an ambitious mission - God is at work.

first flaw, women can not be vicars, so thats the biggest alarm bell to anyone new to this kinda so called christian church, you either follow the bible or you dont. 2 , the lies you have breached in terms of what the bible ACTUALLY says , are hilarious and offensive to actual christians.. this is nothing more than a club for people to think they are do gooders . 3rd biggest alarm for any new people looking for a church, if they promote the ALPHA course run a mile. again they do not represent the actual bible therefore are not christians

Historically interesting. There's a market in the surrounding but main church reopened while I was visiting Bristol in December 2018.

Nice church, mixed 12th century downstairs, and revamped modern upstairs.

Lovely church.

Brilliant church very viberance. Nice coffee and very warm welcome. Blessing Christy x x xx

Stunning from the outside and homely within. The welcome I had was friendly and the church guide leaflet very informative without ever being patronising . Highlights for me were the low-box pews and stained glass . Visible from my hotel room,this was the first thing i used to see in the morning.

St Thomas the Martyr is a former Church of England parish church on St Thomas Street in the Redcliffe district of the English port city of Bristol. It has a 14th-century tower, but the nave was rebuilt 1791–93 by James Allen. A substantial reordering was carried out by William Venn Gough between 1878 and 1880, and the top of the tower was remodeled with spirelet, pinnacles, and pierced parapet by Gough in 1896–97. Four paintings for the reredos were commissioned from the German artist Fritz von Kamptz in 1906, and are now housed in the south aisle. Although the church survived the "Bristol Blitz" of the Second World War, the congregation declined after the war and the church was finally declared redundant. It is in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust, having been vested in the Trust on 17 February 1988. Engraving of St Thomas the Martyr church, published c.1838. The view shows the 18th-century body of the church on the left of the image and the medieval tower in the centre. In front of the church can be seen the graveyard with standing gravestones. In the background can be seen the buildings of the St Thomas Livestock Market, now mostly demolished except the Wool Hall which has been regenerated into a cult music venue called The Fleece. The organ was built by John Harris in 1729, and attracted the admiration of Handel. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building.

Lovely candlelight concert here, looked like a great church as well but didn't get too much chance to absorb the ambiance

After living in Bristol for 8 years, I discovered this beautiful church yesterday. What a gem!

Sad, sad occasion but beautifully welcoming nonetheless. What a celebration of live and love

Watched "chopin by candleight" Lovely little church, very nice ambience.

An orthodox church now,where people come to have a time of peace and reflection.

Went for a wedding reception there, it's a medium capacity hall and very limited parking.

A very welcoming community that embraces you regardless of nationality. A gracious and discrete preast, humble and non judgemental, encouraging and supportive. The church is full of beautiful icons, its quiet and peaceful. A wonderful place to go, find forgiveness and worship our wonderful Creator. Thank you for your kindness to me. 🌸

We came here for easter to collect the saint light. Very good service! Everyone was friendly and kind.

Always a sad occasion when at this venue, but it's great to be with family and the staff are so lovely and helpful.

Used for a funeral, so kitchen, microwave available all clean and clean toilets. So under the sad circumstances didn't love it, but it was very acceptable to use and easy to get to.

Nice and clean area to use for funeral considering the circumstances it's pleasant.

Celebrating the life of Albert Robinson. Old school friend from primary school days. Drank Wray & Nephew rum with ginger beer. Great space for private functions.

An amazing Catholic Church. The interior of the church is really impressive, full of paintings and a very welcoming decor. Saint Patricks is a welcoming community as well, and they have mass in different languages for multiple communities living over Bristol area. It is really worth visiting, specially at Sundays night, 6pm, on which you can join the Brazilian mass followed by a live band with professional singers and musicians.

Built in 1998 to replace the original church built in 1933 and recently extended due to the growing congregation. There is some beautiful artwork in the church and it now boasts a columbarium. It is a very welcoming place and attracts a diverse community originating from many parts of the world.

Such a beautiful church. The interior draws you to reflect and contemplate the mysteries of the Christian faith.

The interiors are so beautiful. Its a very peaceful church and a great place to worship.

Wow, absolutely breathtaking church. I thought I would never like modern church as they always lack personality but I was wrong! This is amazing I seriously didn't want to leave!

I’m a student from Malaysia, and i attended the Saturday evening Mass here whenever i could. When i just got to Bristol, i was homesick and this church really gave me comfort, the priests’ sermons are really good and the congregation are nice as well! A really nice church to visit if you can. The only set back is the transportation to get there if you don’t have a car, and parking isn’t a problem. It is a great place to pray and meditate.

Accessible, sharing and openness of this most beautiful church is a delight. Conductive to a meditative, prayerful experience. Wonderful hearing the sounds of happy children at playtime streaming in. I would love for my granddaughter to go to school here in September. Noirin

Oh!!! I absolutely love this parish. Its very welcoming to ALL. Thanks to Fr Richard.

An amazing space where peole from all over the world come to worship or find fellowship. Father Richard is one of the most intelligent and knowledgeable people that you can meet. He tries to bring out the best in all people and succeeds.

Local Catholic church Very community minded Excellent staff

Beautiful church, accepting of all, multi-cultural, diverse , welcome and down to earth, priest explains modern and biblical meaning of stories in the bible. Not a 'fire and brimstone' Church, just simple and loving, no notions of being sinful or hell, no guilt tripping.

This church is truly welcoming and friendly. Deeply engaged with the community in its parish, this is the sort of church people wish they had. Every time I visit I find something else about it I love. This time it was the many different languages on the walls.

Thank you Fr Richard for the warm welcoming, deep radiating sherpherding, for the your love of humanity and for always availing yourself to the needs of your neighbours, community and anyone really. Thank you

This is a nice multicultural church, and anyone is invited to come and celebrate the Sunday service with us

Visited for the Rare Plant & Orchid Fair. Enjoyable visit, even though I hate churches 😜. BBC were filming 🎥. Bought 2 plants 🪻🥀. It was worth the visit.

Used the public car park and booked my visit in advance. Great price, easy to access and short walk into town.

I visited PIP & Jay's for carols by candlelight. The building is amazing, but the church is not the building. The building houses the congregation, and it is the congregation that is the church, not the building. A very friendly, welcoming fellowship, and I recommend you visit before making a decision.

Very beautiful church and all but a couple of times a week the bell goes on for more than 2 hours. I live just next to the church and even if I close my windows I can still hear it. I don’t mind if the bell rings once every hour but it keeps going on for hours. I am asking respectfully to reduce the lenght of it … Please? Thank you

This annoying church sounds their bells for hours uninterruptedly, on weekend sometimes for more than 2 hours, ruining the peace of all neighborhood. Why being so disrespectful with their neighbors? The fact they believe in God does not allow you to ruins people peace for hours specially on weekends. Terrible behavior, I am catholic but I will never visit this church.

Lovely warm, welcoming, friendly people. Consistent and engaging preaches, contemporary worship with great sound quality and skilled musicians, space for encountering God and Spirit led. Children's church also available with excellent provision. Real mix of people from all stages and walks of life - a real fam.

Lovely church experience, was warmly welcomed as soon as I walked through the door which is strangely rare these days at church with people already in their cliques.

www.djkoolkids.co.uk Dj Kool Kids has done many parties at this hall, its a really nice size room for children's parties and would recommend it to anyone. Kindest regards Dj Kool Kids

Went here for a wedding. Looks like a nice place, quite traditional in the Catholic style and not very ornate. The preacher seems like a very nice man as well, and his preaching style is bearable even for someone who definitely isn't on the religious train.

Lovely church and made to feel very welcome on our recent visit. Lots happening in the parish and excellent primary school next door. Check out the website for mass times and events.

Absolutely extraordinary church built by the Franciscans with an amazing community orientated parish

Lovely parish. Lots going on.

Very nice catholic church, Edwardian

It's a good school and I go there if u have any worries they help i

Lovely church, very pretty and calming. Father George is very welcoming. Excellent wedding service.

Lovely church and Fr George is the nicest, kindest priest you could hope to come across. Very lucky to have St Gerard Majella and Father George on my doorstep. They also started live streaming services during first COVID lock down but have appropriate measures in place in church too.

A beautiful church. The online feed is second to none. The services are very well directed by Father George Henwood, to accommodate the online audience as well as the congregation in the church. Very well done.

Nice friendly church very welcoming we enjoyed the service good atmosphere.

I ordered a 10 piece McNuggets and they delivered me a pre-baptized baby and it was much more scrumptious to thy stomach

Beautiful church and lovely service. Great for our kids too with the children's liturgy

Father George is a living legend. Amazing community.

another pastor/s who refuse to answer or discuss essential doctrines of Hell - the simplicity of salvation and other doctrines - lost - woke - DEI inspired charlatans.

A really good church full of the Holy spirit with love and care for everyone, and great outreach. We went when there when they were having three baptised one Sunday, and the children were encouraged to sit around the baptistery to witness the occasion. It has a large function room downstairs with a kitchen. Would definitely recommend as it's a thriving church.

Beautiful church with very lovely and caring people. Feels like being with family

The sweetest people who love Jesus and their community so well!

Such a warm and friendly Church, who really look after one another, aiming to reflect the love of Jesus throughout the church and it's community.

Bible based teaching, great for kids and adults alike, regular men's breakfasts and women's brunches

Friendly lots of people all ages and God's word preached as bible says x

Thank you to Rev. NIcola Coleman & all the team of St Luke’s, for the fantastic service given at my fathers funeral. We are a big family & everyone was very kind change, considerate & patient. Nicola’s service was beautiful & everyone commented how wonderful & personal it was. We can’t Thank you enough x

If looking for Capoeira and jujitsu classes, this your place.

Havent been to this church since i was a teenager. Beautiful inside a credit to the community

Great little place with HQ art of movement:)

Yeah u can feel the presence of God but i prayed for my jock itch to go away and he didn't get rid of it so yeah like four stars i guess

Went to a meeting there .all good clean and tidy

Limited number of toilets for when they have bigger events

A traditional Methodist church which welcomes everyone

Great salsa venue Friday nights

Went to a choir concert in this church.its very beautiful and facilities were great.

We were in the garden for a social distanced, bring your own food, Church picnic (Woodlands Early Morning congregation). Loved it. Been in the church hall before, for other events. Plenty of space, inside and out. Good car parking around the neighbourhood.

Went there for the Echoes International Mission Conference. Comfortable seats and a good buffet lunch

Alma is a relaxed, friendly and welcoming church. Tea and coffee before and after the service, good music, relevant and thought prevoking talks and great groups for our 2 small children too.

Alma is a wonderful, community orientated church with a real heart for Bristol. As well as its Sunday services, Alma celebrates the international community with 'Conversation Cafe' a chance for internationals, often students, to feel at home in a new country or city. It also has a number of midweek children's groups and homegroups (bible studies) so that church life is never restricted to a Sunday morning. If you're looking for a church home to settle in and feel truly part of, Alma's inclusive congregation may well be just the right church for you.

Oh my days! Blast from the past! I use to come here as a kid there was stepping stones and 7 up club and I absolutely loved it. Even though I'm not Christian it was a lovely experience as a child. Now nearly 30 with a second child right around the corner I couldn't recommend this place enough. Even if your not massively religious i would still highly recommend it if it was anything like it was in the 90s.

Very friendly and welcoming. Nice garden to hang out in after the service. Its a church where its easy to get involved with what's going on.

the pastor will not answer questions of faith or doctrine -- it is lost -- set up your own home church.

The church hall is okay, and has a large kitchen . The smaller hall is used for playschool by the looks of children's toys.

A lovely church with lots to see as you walk around. Friendly vicar and congregation.

Married here in 1971, the cemetery looks uncared for, sign if the times!!

Everyone very friendly Church nice N warm

Lovely place for activities for my boys

Well worth a visit.

Friendly, welcoming and caring. I have been coming to Horfield Methodist church for 36 years. It is like one big family.❤️

Polling hall to side of church well kept building also used for receptions, and functions.No licence for alcohol not sure about music.

Ok 4 meetings .if theyopen the windows .was like an oven in there last week.fell asleep.

I do pilates there. Excellent teacher. Large space. Feel safe.

Take my client to church and clubs there when I'm working those days. Everyone friendly and welcoming always.

Visited for a ballet exam. Perfectly satisfactory space.

Very spacious and a good place for dance classes

Holy Trinity is a fine example of Victorian Gothic architecture in the Decorated style. It was built of Pennant stone quarried locally at Broom Hill. Coupled buttresses at its angles rise boldly in five stages to the rich parapet and are capped with crocketted pinnacles. These flank the spire whose eight angles are ornamented with crockets carved in Bath stone bands, the general facing being of Pennant stone in courses. A large metal cross surmounts the finial of the spire upon which you will sometimes see peregrine falcons looking for their next meal. Inside there are a number of beautiful stained glass windows and historically interesting items including a 1000 year old font with marks showing where the hinges and lock were fitted for the font cover, necessary to prevent the superstitious use of the consecrated water. There has been a church on this site for at least 500 years. The original dedication was to St Giles, but between 1691 and 1720 the old church was demolished and a new one, dedicated to the Holy Trinity, erected in its place. In 1854 the Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol, Bishop Monk, whose official residence was what is now Colston’s School, offered to rebuild the church at his own cost, desiring 'my fellow parishioners to understand that my motives in this work are to remove the source of dispute and contention for pews, caused by the inadequate size of the church, and to provide sittings for the poor as well as other classes of Parishioners.

Holy Trinity Stapleton is now a genuinely welcoming, inclusive Church, where all are warmly welcomed. Come along... you might be surprised!

An absolutely stunning building that I have the pleasure of seeing in the distance often. I love that it lights up on Sundays!

I wanted to visit this beautiful church as I had been for many years and it holds so many lovely memories.

Great friendly church. Lots to offer, kids youth and all ages. Great service and all inclusive. Soon you soon

Good place to meet outside! Had fun walking past.

Very friendly congregation. Well worth a visit

St. Peters in Henleaze is a large church. I have really only been there when they host events. Easy to get to and usually easy to park. Drive up the side of the Tesco garage on Henleaze Rd quickest way to get there.

Lovely church. Only a few parking spaces available in the car park, but there is roadside parking available. Architecture is beautiful. There is nice greenery and a pond. The hall is large, with plenty of toilets on site.

Although barely a century old, its architecture honours earlier tradition. The organ is a wonderful Willis dating back to 1869. It is indeed a pleasure to be serving here.

No experience of the church, but there is a lovely hall adjacent, with kitchen, modern toilets and a separate room.

Went there to the hall(s) for chair aerobics, very professional. Lots of rooms for social events, some parking.

We use one of the rooms for our red cross meetings. Good access & facilities

A great place to worship. All ages catered for

Jesus is a friend of sinners what a Pity the people that attend this church as so judgmental!! Please get off your pedal stool as none of you have the right to judge anyone. More of a cult than a church!!

Friendly, warm, spirit-filled church with so much going on. Jesus focused worship that frequently includes scripture incorporated, solid teaching that informs AND transforms, with a great Kids Church team on Sundays.

Amazing community. I've been coming here nearly 20 years and I've benefited so much. Very wise, humble and loving people. Solid teaching, powerful prayer and worship, very Jesus-centred and approachable to visitors.

A wonderfully friendly church community. Great worship and on point sermons. Highly recommended.

Friendly people and a beautiful church

Super welcoming Authentic people

Can't find main entrance

Lovely old chapel. Nice building to visit in it's gothic glory

Great Bible-based family church, very welcoming and great teaching. Sunday school classes and a range of ministries

This lovely building reminds me of the Notre Dame de Paris this gothic chapel does, the doors and the nice big window is what makes this place so special.

Very friendly people. The love of Jesus is here.

Very friendly people

Lovely church. Lovely service.

My wife and I were blessed to worship with Christ's church thousands of miles from our home. Everyone at the Spirit of Life Reformed Baptist Church of Bristol was very welcoming and the preaching was edifying. Pastor Dia was expositorily preaching through Genesis and preached a Gospel message from the first part of chapter 45. We also attended the catechism class before the service (Westminster Shorter Catechism) and the evening service at which we corporately prayed and heard a guest preacher. If we ever find our way back to Bristol, we will be sure to worship here again.

We had the privilege of meeting with this wonderful church family during our brief stay in the Bristol area. It was a massive blessing to our entire family - to hear God’s Word revered, celebrated, and faithfully preached, to lift our voices in biblical worship, and to pray together in the unity of the Holy Spirit - to do this with such a vibrant body of believers in another country was a memory we will treasure forever. We hope to return in the future, but if you happen to live in this area, visit this church! Soli Deo Gloria.

If you visit Bristol and seek sound doctrine and worship, Spirit of Life Reformed Baptist church is the only church to attend. Pastor Dia Moodley and his congregation will warmly welcome you with open arms. I have never felt such love in the Spirit of Christ. We have travelled from Scotland to Bristol on a few occasions and this Reformed Baptist congregation are unique. They are distinguished by their deep faith, obedience and conviction regarding the authority of the Word of God. These wonderful Christian brothers and sisters' belief are an inspiration as they are enthusing and proclaiming the infallibility of the Word of God. Days of Heaven upon earth when my family met up with Dia Moodley and his whole family that is his congregation.

This church believes in the 5 solas and the doctrines of grace which is the central truth of the scripture and without which the Gospel is lost, I’m glad I can visit this church and be a part of it. Personally, Ogi and Andrea have been such great hosts and always helped me and made me feel at home. Love, Divyani Mahapure

We recently visited this Church in Bristol, and were warmly welcomed by Pastor Dia and the congregation. The word of God was read publicly, and a message regarding living a life of holiness unto the Lord was proclaimed by a visiting preacher. If you are visiting Bristol you will be made welcome. May God continue to bless this congregation as they seek to honour the word of God. Paul.

Unity Chapel is an evangelical church made up of people from various backgrounds who have been drawn together by a common faith in Jesus Christ.

This is a biblically faithful Reformed Baptist congregation. It's a small band of multicultural faithful believers. The word of God is taught expositionally with great clarity. There is a Lords day (sunday) bible study at 09.30 for half an hour, this is followed by a 30 minute break for tea, coffee and fellowship. The main service begins at 10.30 and is 2 hours in total length, finishing at 12.30pm. The worship songs are not modern but rather faithful strong hymns that focus on God and not on us, as some songs do these days.. The Lords supper is always served and there are corporate prayers and the public reading of Gods word. There is then a second service beginning at 6pm on the Sunday evening. Ive never encountered teaching of the calibre given at this little congregation. If you love the Lord and his word, I am sure you will be blessed if you visited here, do be aware though, this church and the teaching is not for having your ears tickled, God's word will challenge and search you out here.

A great space to practice Aikido

Beautiful friendly growing church family Building has a history Safe place for the community and hall space is bookable for groups and children's parties

Have never been inside as it would burn my skin but have to appreciate the architecture.

Beautiful Church. Can't wait for gentrification to convert it into too many, overly priced luxury apartments.

Lovely open space where we hold our peer support group for mothers for mothers

Great playgroup space and tea and biscuits

Attended Christmas night service. Lovely atmosphere. Helpful service.

Spacious, well heated, with lots of natural light and a very friendly vicar. There's a weekly toddler playgroup there, too.

An extremely friendly and caring team of people make visitors extremely welcome

Like most churches still stuck in the 1950`s as regards IT. Whether it is still relevent is open to question. Vicars name DOURKS (No comment) I live near the church so this comment is gleaned from my experiences over a long period. It would be nice to actually have the current vicars name on the website (Or am I missing someing?)

Very friendly and welcoming church. Bedminster is fortunate to have such a place.

Lovely church and the new vicar is very dishy. ;0)

Nice church. Great place to hire to a birthday party for kids.

Excellent place friendly staff great food and support

Lovely and peaceful pathway in Clifton! Perfect for a leisure stroll and a must-walk for anyone exploring the city.

A beautiful walkway passed the remains of St Andrew’s Church and through its graveyard. The path is shaded by plants which arch over your head. Information boards provide some background on the history of the site and some of the people who are buried there.

very nice

Well maintained walk way

Lovely building & great place to Worship!
