Share Bristol | Share Bristol - A Library of Things

Want to start borrowing?

Bristol’s first Library of Things is open on Kingswood high street, every Saturday 10-2 – where you can borrow the things you need to live your life. Whether it is a drill for a DIY project, a tent for a family holiday or a chocolate fountain for a party, we want it to be affordable and accessible, and meet the needs of our local community. Visit us at 1-5 High Street, Kingswood, BS15 4AA.

As a member you can borrow anything from our library for free and become part of our sharing community.
