What's on in Hotwells

Bristol, England

Hotwells sits snugly in Bristol where the River Frome makes for a lovely stroll on a damp afternoon. The Portcullis has been serving up great food and live music since before most of us were born. It's a spot that feels like home without ever losing its edge. Pub dinners happen regularly and there's usually a comedy night to make you forget your troubles. Near Here keeps track of what's on so you don't have to waste time scrolling through endless lists. Just grab a coffee and see what's playing this week.

Children can decide whether they wish to explore feelings and ideas or just take pleasure in sounds, smells and sights at the time. We understand that some days it is just impossible to get everyone out of the house - rest assured you don't have to arrive at 10am, just come when you're ready. You can drop into the session at any time and stay for as long or as little as you and your child wish. On Arrival The RWA is closed to the general public on Mondays so you will need to ring the doorbell by our main door to enter.
