The historic Clifton Observatory plays host to Bristol Film Festival's Spirit Of Cinema screenings, which pair classic films with great spirit-based drinks. This unique setting overlooks the Avon Gorge and Clifton Suspension Bridge, and (weather permitting!) you can enjoy the stunning views from the terrace before the film begins.

📍The Location

Established in 1766, Clifton Observatory is an iconic landmark and an integral part of the Bristol landscape. The Observatory has had a long and varied history, but one thing has remained consistent over the centuries: the spectacular and unforgettable views of Bristol, Avon Gorge, and the Clifton Suspension Bridge.

In 2015, the Observatory underwent a major restoration. Today, it’s home to the 360 café, a museum featuring a rare Victorian-era Camera Obscura, and the atmospheric and mythical Giant’s Cave.
