To help workers in the city make the most of summer in Bristol, Redcliffe & Temple BID in partnership with City Dressing, have created a new outdoor area in Temple Quay for the everyone to enjoy over the summer months.

First launched in 2023, ‘Summer on the Quay’ returned in 2024 and is back again for 2025.  Featuring furniture and seating surrounded by plants, the calm, beautiful setting on Glass Wharf is the perfect spot for a catch up with colleagues, enjoying lunch in the sunshine, or meeting up with friends after work.

In 2023, we added four beautifully decorated flower benches in Temple Back East and Rivergate. Each bench was decorated based on a Bristol / South West charity to help create awareness and raise money for charities including TAP for Bristol, Grassroot Communities, Avon Wildlife Trust and Changes Bristol.

The benches provided an additional place to sit and take a break as well as a casual meeting space, and their stunning appearance made the perfect backdrop for a selfie. Across the full installation, all materials used were either recycled or upcycled to support Redcliffe & Temple BID’s sustainable approach in the city and reduce carbon footprint.
