The Building and Its Setting
The B Bond Warehouse is a substantial historic structure that gives the Create Centre a character distinctly different from purpose-built civic venues. The warehouse setting places it firmly within Bristol’s broader harbourside district, an area that has seen considerable transformation over the decades from its working industrial past. Smeaton Road itself runs through a part of the city that sits near the water’s edge, putting the centre within easy reach of other attractions and amenities in the BS1 area. The postcode district covers much of central Bristol, meaning the Create Centre is well positioned for visitors arriving from across the city or from further afield.
