Inspired by the global urban edible and food sovereignty movements, and the Incredible Todmorden story, Incredible Edible Bristol vision was to become the UK’s first edible city. Since commencing in February 2014, the citizens of Bristol have come together to develop it’s community and grow food, reviving underused and unloved spaces.
From community to private gardens, seeds are begin sewn. Guerrilla gardening, edible hanging baskets, grass verge takeovers and seed swaps all contribute with the aim to provide fresh, healthy food for all. Providing food security and sovereignty.

Hamilton House was a vacant and neglected office block for many years, until in 2008 when the owners, Connolly and Callaghan invited a group of friends to create a centre for the community. Ever since, Coexist has been working hard to create a space in which the community can grow, share, collaborate, and learn what it is to live in coexistence with each other.

Community Action Zone otherwise known as St James Barton Roundabout. On the way out (or in) from Stokes Croft to the city centre.
Venture under the busy roundabout via tunnels past panels of street-art into a diverse and interesting central, open, public space, featuring ‘Bearpit Outdoor Gallery’.
An ongoing development project between Community and Council after years of neglect. Colourful now, and full of variety; buskers and street-drinkers, street-art, giant billboards boasting about Bristol’s latest protests and a giant wooden Bear. New stair-ways opened up the in 2015, a small cafe (from a converted shipping container) boasting good value, sometimes vegan and always delicious food, a fresh fruit stall, a 1960’s bus turned into a Burrito diner and always something going on.
Perfect for people-watching, or better still, people being.
