Local tip
The centre has a great cafe with daily freshly prepared food - On a good day sit outside on one of their harbourside tables and watch the boats go by!

Housed in a converted warehouse, the Arnolfini contemporary arts centre stages new and exciting exhibitions as well as an innovative programme of visual arts, performance, dance, film and music.

Arnolfini is a great place to pop into if you are a contemporary arts lover. Some of the exhibitions can be quite thought provoking and challenging and you can mooch around them for free. It's also worth looking at their programme of events, which includes films, music, dance and literary events, to see if anything takes your fancy - please click on the website for more information. Entrance is free.

TOP TIP: The Arnolfini cafe is an excellent choice for a quick lunch or snack if you are visiting attractions around the harbour side. There is also a very good art related book shop here.

Opening Times:

Tuesday - Sunday: 11am to 6pm

Monday: Closed (except bank holidays).
