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.
