Enjoy a coffee and independent cinema at Watershed. This cultural center/cinema screens Independent movies that don’t make it into the majority of theatres. The center funds cultural and technological art projects, so drop in to see what new things they have going on. Take a bite at the cafe/bar, which uses as many locally sourced products as possible. Take advantage of their waterfront location to stare out the window and watch the river roll past. They have movies suitable for all ages, and a child-friendly restaurant. A visit to Watershed represents just the start of the adventure when you use our Bristol tour itinerary tool to plot your vacation.

Love this cinema, they always show interesting films and sometimes do special screenings of old ones. They also have special events and are a super inclusive venue which is great! A nice selection of drinks and snacks too to take in to your screening or eat in the bar!

Good place for food and booze (bar) pleasent atmosphere. And of course a variety of media based events and shows. The cinema is mainly for independent and more obscure films. Small and intimate theater and great films.
