Cabot Circus in Bristol

Cabot Circus Shops

With its striking glass roof, modern design and impressive range of stores, Cabot Circus offers one of Bristol’s best shopping experiences. The open, light-filled layout creates a unique indoor-outdoor feel, while shoppers can browse a fantastic mix of high-street favourites, beauty brands, designer names and independent retailers.

From fashion and accessories at stores including Zara, Next, Monki and Victoria’s Secret to the West’s flagship House of Fraser, which spans three floors, there is plenty to explore. The shopping experience continues across Penn Street into Quakers Friars, a stylish area home to premium brands, independent shops, cafés and restaurants, including Apple, AllSaints, COS and Oliver Bonas.

Cabot Circus Entertainment

Cabot Circus is more than just a shopping destination, with plenty of entertainment options for visitors of all ages. Families can enjoy activities such as adventure golf and immersive VR experiences at ImmotionVR, while film fans can catch the latest releases at the eight-screen ODEON De Luxe cinema.

Cabot Circus Restaurants

After a day of shopping and entertainment, relax with a meal or drink at one of the many restaurants and bars, including Chophouse Restaurant & Bar at Future Inn Bristol, located across the road.

Whether you’re looking for a quick coffee, a casual lunch or a relaxed evening meal, Cabot Circus has a wide choice of places to eat. The surrounding Quakers Friars piazza is particularly popular, with outdoor dining areas where visitors can enjoy food and drinks during warmer months, alongside the dancing water fountains.

Cabot Circus Events

Throughout the year, Cabot Circus hosts a range of events, seasonal activities and family-friendly experiences, from festive celebrations and Christmas shopping events to special promotions and entertainment.

Cabot Circus Parking

Cabot Circus has a large multi-storey car park with direct access to the shopping centre, making it a convenient choice for visitors arriving by car. The central location also means it is easy to explore other Bristol attractions, including Bristol Dockyards, Harbourside and Clifton Suspension Bridge, on foot.

Parking for Future Inn Bristol Customers

Free parking is available for all hotel guests, with one car per room, at the Cabot Circus multi-storey car park, located directly opposite the hotel. Any additional vehicles will need to be paid for separately.

Chophouse Restaurant diners get 50% off parking. The process is the same - please give your vehicle registration number at Reception. Plus, business conference visitors can access discounted parking if arranged in advance.

The car park is within the Bristol Clean Air Zone; however, entry and exit via Houlton Street avoids the chargeable zone. We recommend double-checking your car's eligibility before travelling.

A drop-off parking zone located at the back of the hotel, also within the Bristol Clean Air Zone, allows you a strict 15-minute time limit to unload. Limited blue badge parking is also available here, which must be registered at Reception on a first-come, first-served basis.
