Visit us in Frenchay

We’re delighted to have opened our third Share Bristol Library of Things at UWE Bristol’s Frenchay Campus! This is all thanks to the support of the community and our match funders, Aviva and the Mortgage Advice Bureau Foundation, who have helped us fundraise to open this new site.

Location: Share Bristol Frenchay, University of the West of England, Frenchay Campus, Coldharbour Lane, Bristol BS16 1QY.
