In the heart of the historic city of Bristol, Turbo Island is a vibrant and thriving open-air social hub. Located at the junction of the iconic Jamaica Street and the bustling Stokes Croft, Turbo Island is a locale that thrives on the city's lively energy, providing a unique setting for 24/7 socialising.
Enjoy the outdoor seating arrangements that seemingly materialize out of nowhere – sofas, office chairs, even the occasional mattress - perfect for under-the-stars lounging. Turbo Island attracts a delightful blend of local Bristolians, who are always more than happy to engage in lively conversation, as well as visitors from farther afield. Whether you're an early bird or a night owl, a quiet visitor or an enthusiastic socialite, Turbo Island offers an inclusive and welcoming atmosphere for all.
In the heart of this urban retreat, the island's signature bonfire is a magnetic draw. As dusk falls, feel the warmth of the fire that keeps flickering well into the night, serving as the beating heart of Turbo Island and a beacon for late-night chatter. The fuel? Sustainably sourced from around the local area - a testament to Turbo Island's social and environmental commitment.
Adding to the island's charm is the stunning, ever-evolving street art that adorns the south wall, a dynamic canvas showcasing the creativity of Bristol's talented artists. It's a local billboard of sorts, offering a visual feast for art lovers and photographers alike, while the adjacent flyposter community noticeboard promotes upcoming local events.
Located in the midst of Bristol's independent gem, Stokes Croft, Turbo Island is also conveniently close to a selection of outstanding local businesses. From the South American delicacies of Cafe Cuba, the famous wraps of Biblos, to the nutritious plant-based meals at The Canteen, there's a tantalising array of local cuisine just a stone's throw away. For those late-night cravings, Slix and Ritas offer comfort food, while "The Best" supermarket caters to all your snack needs.
According to local legend, as long as the fire on Turbo Island burns bright, the spirit of Stokes Croft is alive and well. It's said that if the fire were ever to fade, it would mark the end of an era – a sign that the soul of Stokes Croft, with its unique energy and creativity, has been lost to the forces of change.
But while the fire continues to flicker and glow, so too does the vibrant, independent character of this incredible neighborhood. As long as Turbo Island stands true, Stokes Croft remains a place where the unexpected happens, where creativity knows no bounds, and where everyone is welcome.
Turbo Island, born from the ashes of WWII, encapsulates the spirit of Bristol's fierce independence and vibrant culture. Its rich history and colourful setting make it an unforgettable destination for those seeking a taste of authentic Bristol. Welcome to Turbo Island, where every visit is a story waiting to be written.
