The Vench

‘The Vench’ as it’s known locally, is a much-loved adventure playground and youth and community centre in Bristol offering a range of activities and experiences for all ages. We provide an exciting and supportive environment for children and young people to meet, play and learn. The playground features a sunken trampoline, a zip wire, a drop slide, rope balances, a sports pitch and an edible garden for those who enjoy getting stuck in. Inside the centre we have a meeting room, games room, arts space and work spaces.

We also host Food Clubs bi-weekly in collaboration with local partners. We are here to serve our community in these times of change and are adapting our offering to support local residents through the cost of living crisis and as we recover from the Covid-19 pandemic.
