Where to Stay for SWhoop 2026

Accommodation Update

24th June 2026: I currently know of 2 spaces available in a shared Airbnb with SWhoopers.

If you are looking for accommodation and would like to share costs with other hoopers, please contact Emma for details.

SWhoop ticket price does not include accommodation.

Bristol has lots of accommodation options. Most SWhoopers choose to stay in Old Market, the City Centre, or nearby areas with good transport links. The best choice depends on whether you want to be within walking distance of the venue, keep costs down by sharing with other hoopers, or explore more of Bristol during your stay.

Main SWhoop Venues

Main venue:
Trinity Centre, Trinity Rd, St Jude’s, Bristol BS2 0NW, United Kingdom

Ideally you want to find somewhere within walking distance of the Trinity Centre.

If you are bringing a car, please be aware parking is difficult in the area, so look out for accommodation offering free parking if you’ll need it. You can park at the venue, but it is a pay-and-display car park. More transport info here.

There are also two additional venues very close by: Pink Kitten and The Jam Jar.

Old Market Bristol

Where to Look

The venue is located in Old Market, right next to Bristol City Centre, so these are usually the best areas to start your accommodation search.

Bristol has plenty of accommodation options across the city and good public transport, including buses and rentable e-scooters, so staying a little further away can also work well.

Recommended: Moxy Bristol Special Rate

The Moxy is the closest hotel and the most popular hotel with hoopers. I have arranged a special 15% off best available rate deal for SWhoopers.

Moxy Bristol: 9 minute walk from the venue. £499 for a Queen Room or Twin Room for 5 nights with the special SWhoop sign-up link.
