Windmill Hill Community Centre

We’re one of the venues for Art On The Hill’s annual Arts trail for 2017 covering Windmill Hill and Victoria Park, hosting local artists from Bedminster and Bristol.

There is an array of events planned for both the daytime and evening. The trail has live entertainment, workshops, art to purchase and is family friendly!

In addition to hosting eight artists, there’ll also be music and food on Saturday afternoon and a concert on Saturday evening at the Community Centre.

See www.artonthehill.org.uk to see about planned workshops and artists featured for this year’s trail.

At our AGM on Thursday, we’re pleased to announce that our three executive officers were reelected for 2017-18: chairman Jim Haywood, treasurer Simon Haywood and secretary Chloe Fussell

We also elected a 12-member management committee featuring some old faces plus four new additions.

Thanks to all those involved in running the Community Centre in 2016-17, and we look forward to an exciting year ahead.
