The People's Republic Of Stokes Croft has been something of a cultural landmark in an ever changing Bristol since 2006. With their roots in local street art contingents, they're responsible for the tourist favourite Hokusai Wave on Hillgrove Street, as well as the Jamaica Street Outdoor Gallery.

The space itself is used to to encourage human connections, social change and the exploration of ideas. With an emphasis on art exhibitions, talks, book launches, comedy, performance, theatre, circus, live music, film screenings, workshops. Recently a string of socially-conscious documentary premieres have highlighted the importance of this space for community discussion, wellbeing and events in Bristol. It's available for hire (as long as the cause is right) and hosts private event of up to 150 people.
