Spring 2010 - Shipshape Magazine Bristol

contents
Welcome
... to Shipshape, the brand new magazine
celebrating the best of Bristol’s historic
harbourside. With its wealth of restaurants,
galleries, entertainment venues and
historical landmarks, this growing cultural
quarter has fast become a must-visit
destination for Bristol’s residents and
visitors alike. And since we love the area
as much as you do, we thought it deserved
its very own magazine. Leaf through these
pages to learn more about the characters
and buildings that have helped make the
city what it is today and find out all you
need to know about the latest events along
the waterside. We’ve also launched a new
complementary website, so go for a browse,
join in the debates or simply say hello at
