Business activities

We want to support small and local organisations to bring their business to Bristol's parks. 

Bringing your business to our parks helps us generate more income to maintain and improve our green spaces across the city. 

By improving the parks, supporting nature projects, and backing community activities, we make our green spaces more welcoming, sustainable, and enjoyable for everyone.

Pitches for traders (mobile concessions)

Our concession pitches are areas where you can pay an annual fee and set up your mobile business.

These areas are within Bristols parks and green spaces or city docks.

Outdoor activities and dog walking

All commercially operated outdoor activities and dog walking services delivered in a Bristol City Council-managed park or green space must have a parks business licence.

Spaces for hire

We have event spaces available for hire.

The Blaise Plant Nursery Glasshouse is 130 square metres of covered area that is available for hire as a therapeutic, learning or event space.

The space can be used for informal meetings, social meetups or team building activities.

Filming

We can help you apply for filming permission, find locations and facilities, and request parking suspension in the Bristol City Council area.
