About The Tobacco Factory.

The Tobacco Factory in Southville is one of Bristol's most beloved mixed-use cultural venues — a Victorian tobacco processing factory converted into workspace, a theatre, a weekly market, and a café-restaurant that has become a focal point for the creative community south of the Avon. The workspace element occupies five floors of the original factory building, with studio units, co-working, and private offices that retain the industrial character of the original building: exposed timber beams, brick walls, and warehouse-scale volumes that creative businesses value.

Bedminster station is eight minutes on foot — the Severn Beach line connects to Bristol Temple Meads. Bus routes 24/25/45 run from Raleigh Road to the city centre in 20 minutes. The Tobacco Factory's Sunday market and theatre attract a sustained community footfall that makes the venue lively at the weekend as well as during the working week.

Enquiries via Seek connect directly to the Tobacco Factory workspace team — no broker, no placement fee.
