accommodation

Here are a few reasonably priced places to stay in Bristol. If you have any trouble finding something or can't afford to pay to stay, please get in touch with us and we'll help you out. Email lfbristolplanning@yahoo.co.uk or ring 0117 902 8194.

Free Accommodation for Ladyfest Bristol ticket holders: we've booked the Sea Scouts Benjamin Perry Boathouse, in an ideal location in the centre near all Ladyfest venues for those of you who can't afford to stay in paid accommodation during Ladyfest*. It's in a great spot right on the waterfront, below Redcliffe, opposite the Thekla & Severnshed (map >>)

Its not luxurious....but it's super cool with views and bells to ring. It's got showers, toilets, kitchen and lots of floor space to sleep on (bring your sleeping bag!). And its right on the docks so its quite a nice place to be. Please ring Rosie on 07939107768 or email lfbristolplanning@yahoo.co.uk to book a spot.

*donations of £1-5 per night toward the cost would be very welcome for those who can afford it
