Bristol is arguably the UK's most creative city outside London.
The city that gave the world Banksy, Massive Attack, and Aardman Animations has a creative culture that runs deep. Bristol's design scene is genuinely independent, genuinely innovative, and — critically — operates at a high standard without the overhead of a London postcode. The city's technology sector has grown significantly, with a thriving startup ecosystem, major tech employers like Airbus, and proximity to Bath that creates a combined creative economy of real scale.
