Arc Bristol - be elevated

Introducing Arc Bristol - a show stopping destination attraction in the heart of the city. Join us for a lunchtime talk by the people behind Arc Bristol. A perfect mix of architectural design, engineering, and education.

What is Arc Bristol?

Arc Bristol is an innovative new concept due for lift off in 2024. An elegant glass cabin lifts you high above a historic city, showing you the landmarks and revealing the many different stories that can only be seen from the air.

For new visitors to Bristol, it’s the perfect introduction to the city – an unmissable first stop. But even when you know the city well, one flight is all you'll need for a completely fresh perspective.

Explore a city

With an eye level of 69 metres, Arc Bristol is designed to take passengers to exactly the right height for spotting clues below, learning why a city looks and behaves as it does. Arc is designed for minimal impact on historic locations. Solar powered and all but silent, its tiny footprint, the size of two Minis, is perfect for sensitive historic sites.

Great insight, and superb innovation this is certainly something to get excited about. We hope you’ll take a breath over lunch and listen in.
