Mivart Street


Mivart Street is the site of an old Victorian factory that has been put to many uses over the years. At one time they made bi-planes there.

Now it houses artists' workshops and every year they hold an exhibition. This year it promises to be bigger and better than ever. They've brought in a proper curator and increased the number of music and performance events.

To get there you can use the 585/586 buses (Bellevue road stop) or it's a short walk from Stapleton Road (buses 4,24, 48,49 - Job Centre stop, first one after railway bridge), or use the Severn Beach line (Stapleton Road stop).

For more details, check out Mivart Artists. The event takes place on the weekend of 14-15 October from 11am till 5pm each day.

Here are some photos that I took of last year's event.


View from the building. You can see St.Mark's Church tower in the background. The top photo shows part of the building, and where I'm standing is about the same size, so it's a fairly large area.


I think these are plaster casts of people's belly buttons. If you want to try this yourself, always get people's permission before you plaster cast parts of their body.
