Events in and around Portishead

Portishead Community Market is a not-for profit community market organised and run by volunteers. 100% of the profits made will be spent supporting local businesses, charities and organisations.

Come along to browse the products on offer from a wide range of local, independent small businesses, find out what services local organisations are able to provide and join in with our fundraising activities including our monthly charity raffle.

From gifts and jewellery to pet supplies and pastries - there is something for everyone!

The Community Café is also open providing hot and cold drinks and refreshments with all proceeds going towards supporting the fabulous work Portishead Youth & Community Centre do within the local community.

If you would like to join us as a stall holder or would like to volunteer your time to help with the market, please get in touch.

Come and unwind with us at the final event in our 3-part painting series – this time, we’re capturing the calm, dreamy beauty of sun rays shining through water.

Led by local artist Tracie Fry, this session is all about having a go, enjoying the process and not overthinking it. It’s relaxed, friendly, and absolutely no pressure – just a chance to try something creative in a really laid-back setting.

All materials are provided, and you’ll get a glass of bubbles or a soft drink to sip while you paint. Whether you’ve joined us before or this is your first time, you’ll be made to feel totally welcome.

And the best part? Every ticket supports the RNLI and their amazing life-saving work. So you’ll leave with your own piece of art – and the feel-good glow of doing something lovely for a great cause.
