Room 212 is an Aladdin’s Cave of Bristol art and creativity and has gained a reputation as the go-to place for original, interesting gifts and artwork by local artists. Based on the central part of Gloucester Road, Bristol known locally as Glos Rd Central, Room 212 is at the heart of a group of independently owned local shops and galleries. Regular themes tie in with the seasons or Bristol events inspire artists to produce new and different work.  A highlight is the North Bristol Art Trail at the end of November when Room 212 is a Venue 45 on the 2022 trail. Room 212 acts as a permanent home year round for many artists appearing on this long established art trail.

Our lovely big windows are a fantastic opportunity to show large original paintings or set up fun or quirky seasonal displays.

Room 212 was a finalist for the Bristol Life Awards 2018 in the Retailer category and owner Sarah Thorp was a judge for the awards in 2019. We were finalists were also finalist for the Small Awards https://thesmallawards.uk/
