Here are Monika’s top-five Bristol favourites:
Engine Shed
is needed now More than ever
“We’re based at Engine Shed and I just cannot imagine a better place to work from. It is a hub for innovation and brings together startups, public sector and academics. It’s buzzing with people all the time, and there isn’t a day when you don’t bump into someone interesting.”
Yurt Lush
“Hidden away behind Engine Shed is the cosy Yurt Lush with fresh and healthy food. It’s definitely my favourite place for lunch by the fire.”
Harbourside

“It is so beautiful to watch flickering city lights reflecting in water in the evening. Bristol’s harbourside is such a great place to wander around with plenty of great restaurants and bars. That’s where I take visitors from outside of Bristol to show off how great and buzzy the city is.”
Bristol Hippodrome
“I could spend all my free time going to the Bristol Hippodrome to watch plays and musicals.”
Colston Hall
.
“I’m really impressed with how many concerts Colston Hall is hosting and the quality of musicians coming to Bristol. It’s my New Year resolution to go more often.”
