Bristol

Pixel Pioneers Bristol takes place right at the harbourside in the heart of the city. We've put together a little guide to our venues, places to stay and eat, and other great things to see in Bristol.

Our post-conference venue

The Cock & Tail is just a short walk away from our conference venue, the M Shed, in the heart of Bristol's docklands and brings with it great cocktails, the region's best beers, awesome music and a renegade attitude.
