Cabot Circus in Bristol is a uniquely designed, modern shopping centre based in the heart of Bristol Shopping Quarter.
It's hard not to be wowed by the sheer size and design of the circus; the shell-shaped glass roof keeps you dry, but the fresh air circulates to give a really pleasant indoor-outdoor shopping experience. Here you will find all your high-street favourites such as Marks & Spencer (M&S), Zara, H&M, Next, Monki and New Look. There are so many shops to choose from, we couldn't possibly list them all, but check out the Cabot Circus website for full listings.
Your Cabot Circus shopping experience continues across Penn Street into Quakers Friars, named after the friar that still stands in the midst of high-end, designer shops and eateries, including Harvey Nichols, Ted Baker, Oliver Bonas and many more. The piazza is surrounded by restaurants and cafes, including Côte Brasserie and Six by Nico. Then, in the warm months, you can dine alfresco as water fountains dance playfully in front of you. Head to Quakers Lane to snap a shot of the iconic Bristol letters artwork.
Cabot Circus makes a shopping day out fun for all the family; little ones can burn off some energy in the free interactive play area before finishing off the day with dinner at one of the many restaurants, such as The Real Greek, Casa Brasil, Nando's, Zizzi, Five Guys, Yo! Sushi and Wagamama.
Check out Treetop Golf for an immersive indoor mini golf experience, offering a unique adventure deep within a mystical rainforest. Or try state-of-the-art ten-pin bowling and more at King Pins, all in the heart of Bristol at Cabot Circus.

Parking at Cabot Circus

There are two payment options to choose from:
- Automatic Payments: Register here, and you’ll be all set to ‘Drive in. Drive out.’ without any extra steps. Payment is taken care of as soon as you exit.
- Tap to Pay/Scan QR code: Prefer not to register? Just tap your phone or scan the QR code on one of the parking signs around the Car Park when you’re ready to leave.
Please note: Cabot Circus sits within Bristol’s Clean Air Zone. While most cars won’t be charged, it’s best to check before you set off. The main entrance on Newfoundland Street and the Bond Street South exits are inside the zone – so if your vehicle isn’t compliant, you’ll need to pay the daily charge.
Want to avoid the charge? Use the Houlton Street entrance, and when exiting, turn right towards Lawrence Hill. That route keeps you outside the zone – depending on how you got here in the first place.
