1532 Performing Arts Centre - Clifton, Bristol

Set right in the heart of Bristol’s elegant Clifton neighbourhood on Elton Road (on the Bristol Grammar School site), the 1532 Performing Arts Centre is a contemporary, purpose-built venue just off Clifton Triangle and close to the buzz of central Bristol.

Inside, the building is designed around beautiful, light-filled creative spaces. The Dance Studio is a standout: a large, sprung-floor studio with floor-to-ceiling windows and panoramic views across the school site, making it an inspiring setting for rehearsals, classes and workshops.

It’s a great fit for Bristol’s famously creative energy. The city is internationally recognised for its street art culture (including Banksy and a thriving mural scene), and hosts major events like Upfest, widely billed as Europe’s largest street art festival.
