PARK STREET

OVERALL TRENDS

Compared to May, footfall on Park Street was down 12% with a 5% decrease in visitors. The daily average visitor number was 15,351 compared to 16,932 in May. Despite this slight decrease, year-on-year figures remain high, having almost doubled from 249,306 visits in June 2024 to 477,545 visits in June 2025.

Key trends included:

• Seasonal events: The busiest days for footfall were Friday 13 and Saturday 14. 14 June had nearly 6,000 more visits than any other day in June. Over this weekend, both the Bristol Craft Beer Festival and Festival of Nature took place on the Harbourside nearby, likely contributing to the rise in footfall. 
• Saturday impact: Saturdays were the highest days for footfall, with consistent weekly footfall patterns emerging that highlight a notable spike on Saturdays.
• International visits: There was a 2% increase in footfall from international visitors in June compared to May, with the largest number of visitors from Germany. This marks a change from the previous months in 2025, where most international visitors came from Spain.

VICTORIA STREET

OVERALL TRENDS*

Footfall and visitor numbers both decreased by 16% from May to June. The daily average visitor number was 5,346 in June compared to 6,178 in May. Despite decreases month-on-month, year-on-year figures were more than four times as high, rising from 38,106 visits in June 2024 to 168,461 visits in June 2025. 

Key trends included: 

• Seasonal events: The busiest days for footfall in June were Friday 13 and Saturday 14. Over this weekend, both the Bristol Craft Beer Festival and Festival of Nature took place on the Harbourside,  likely contributing to the rise in footfall, despite not being in the immediate vicinity.
• Warm weather: Wednesday 18 and Thursday 19 were also busy days for footfall. These were both hot, sunny days, with 19 June having a high of 29°C.
• Weekday impact: Thursdays in June were the most popular day to visit Victoria Street, closely followed by Saturdays. Footfall on Thursdays is likely higher due to more workers visiting their offices on these days, as the Victoria Street sensor is located close to a dense area of office buildings. Sundays were the lowest days for footfall, with a significant drop in visits (not including the Sunday where the sensor was down). 

*These figures include a partial loss of network on the Victoria Street data cell on Sunday 29 June and a full loss on Monday 30 June, meaning data could not be sent during that time. The actual decrease in footfall is likely to have been slightly smaller.
